SOAR Sandia Optimization and Analysis Routines

Software ·
OSTI ID:1230671

SOAR is a suite of problem specific desktop welding software applications to develop optimal automatic weld procedures. Applications provide interative displays of fusion zone dimensions versus input parameter levels in a weldment. SOAR also displays heat affected zones, temperature contours, process efficiencies, and sensitivity parameters, by computing solutions to analytical and/or empirical heat transfer models. SOAR provides the knowledgeable user valuable analysis tools to investigate the impact of changes in weld procedures on weld characteristics. SOAR operates via graphical user system input and returns both numerical and graphical output in both electronic and hardcopy form.
