Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of building construction, and in particular relates to a welding deformation simulation system and method in a steel structure construction process. Background Art

[0002] During the construction of steel structures, welding deformation is a complex problem. It is affected by many factors such as welding process parameters, material properties, environmental conditions, and welding sequence, which makes the deformation behavior during welding difficult to predict and control. At present, the simulation of welding deformation of typical steel structures mainly uses traditional finite element analysis methods such as thermoelastic-plastic method and inherent strain method or neural network model to predict welding deformation. However, the traditional finite element analysis method has high calculation cost and requires continuous improvement of strain database. It does not consider the different degrees of deformation of components during steel structure manufacturing, transportation, and on-site installation, and cannot guarantee the accuracy and reliability of finite element analysis.

[0003] Therefore, how to provide a welding deformation simulation system and method for the steel structure construction process is a technical problem that technical personnel in this field urgently need to solve. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the problem that the traditional prediction of welding deformation has low accuracy and reliability, the present invention proposes a welding deformation simulation system and method for the steel structure construction process. In the steel structure construction process, welding deformation is a complex problem. It is affected by many factors such as welding process parameters, material properties, environmental conditions and welding sequence, which makes the deformation behavior in the welding process difficult to predict and control. At present, the simulation of welding deformation of typical steel structures mainly adopts traditional finite element analysis methods such as thermoelastic-plastic method and inherent strain method or neural network model to predict welding deformation. However, the traditional finite element analysis method has high calculation cost and needs to continuously improve the strain database. It does not take into account the different degrees of deformation of components during the steel structure manufacturing, transportation and on-site installation process, and cannot guarantee the accuracy and reliability of finite element analysis.
