2006.03.31 -
Release of SORPAS® 7.0
The new version SORPAS®
7.0 is
now released with many
new functions including the prediction of weldability lobes. Two
types of the weldability lobes can be predicted referring to ISO
14327:2004: 1) varying the weld current and time with
constant force and 2) varying the weld current and force with constant
time. The ranges of the weld current are determined according to three weld
nugget diameters (minimum, maximum and nominal). More details are
described inproducts and applications.

2005.12.01 - Large Research
Project funding approved in Denmark!
Five leading
research groups of the Technical University of Denmark (DTU)
together with SWANTEC as the industrial partner have got a
new research funding (~1.7m Euro) from the Danish Government for the next
four years (2006-2009) for a large Research Project:
INNOJOINT - INNOvative JOining processes applying INTegrated modelling.
The objective of the project is to
make comprehensive research and developments in modeling of
joining processes with integration of all interrelated aspects including materials,
products, tools and process dynamics aiming for industrial applications.
The
participating research groups from DTU include the Department of
Mathematics, the Department of Solid Mechanics and three research groups
from the Department of Manufacturing Engineering and Management including
the Metallurgical Group, the Process Techniques Group and
the Numerical Modeling Group. SWANTEC is the only
industrial partner directly participating in the
project. Several external partners have agreed to
participate in the project as associated partners including
Robert Bosch (DE), Volvo Trucks (SE), Danfoss (DK), Grundfos
(DK) and RWTH Aachen (DE).

SORPAS® showed again at Essen
Welding Fair!
New
functions including the automated optimization of weld current and
the New Input Wizard were demonstrated at the
resent Essen Welding Fair
in Essen, Germany. SORPAS®
has once again impressed hundreds of visitors.
It now takes only a few minutes to prepare and run a simulation of resistance welding processes. Three new customers had
ordered the licenses of SORPAS® right
during the Fair.
