ANALYZING METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPTIMIZING WELDING POSITION OF STRUCTURE

摘要

A welding-position optimization analyzing method according to the present invention is a welding-position optimization analyzing method for optimizing spot welding or continuous welding used to weld a plurality of components constituting a structure model formed of plane elements and/or three-dimensional elements. The method includes a to-be-analyzed-portion defining step of defining a to-be-analyzed portion including welding points or welding portions at which the plurality of components are welded; a fixed-welding defining step of defining at least one of the welding points or at least one of the welding portions in the defined to-be-analyzed portion as a fixed welding point or a fixed welding portion; a welding-prospect specifying step of specifying welding prospects in the to-be-analyzed portion, the welding prospects being regarded as prospects for the welding points or the welding portions; an analytic-condition applying step of defining an analytic condition applied to the to-be-analyzed portion; and an analysis step of calculating an optimal welding point or an optimal welding portion that satisfies the analytic condition from among the welding prospects.
