Publication number: 20200302821Abstract: A simulator facilitates simulated welding activity of simulated weld joints. The simulator may include a logic processor based system operable to execute coded instructions for generating an interactive welding environment in which a welding activity is simulated, the welding activity occurring at an interface of a first simulated work piece and a second simulated work piece that defines a simulated weld joint. The simulator is capable of simulating the simultaneous welding of multiple users on the simulated weld joint in real time. The simulator is capable of simulating the removal of material from the work piece(s). The simulator is capable of simulating the traversal of a weld path corresponding to the simulated weld joint, with the weld path including linear and/or non-linear portions. The simulator is capable of simulating the generation of smoke during the simulated welding activity.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2020Publication date: September 24, 2020Inventors: Deanna Postlethwaite, David Zboray, Chris Gandee, Antonius Aditjandra, Matthew Wallace, Zach Lenker
