  • Method and system for determining welding sequences
    Patent number: 10114913
    Abstract: A system for determining a welding sequence is disclosed. The system may have a welding sequence generator configured to create an initial population of welding sequences based on a user-generated constraint. The system may also have a welding simulator configured to simulate welding for at least one welding sequence in the initial population of welding sequences to model distortion for the at least one welding sequence. The welding sequence generator may be further configured to receive the distortion for the at least one welding sequence in the initial population from the welding simulator, determine whether a merit value derived from at least the distortion for the at least one welding sequence satisfies one or more predetermined criteria, output the at least one welding sequence as a potential welding sequence if the merit value satisfies the predetermined criteria.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 25, 2015
    Date of Patent: October 30, 2018
    Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.
    Inventors: Julian Andres Norato, Sungmoon Jung, Badrinarayan Parthasarathy Athreya, Christopher Ha
