A new approach for welded structutes design based on computer, supercomputer and grid technologiesis is
proposed- Predictive Welding Engineering (PWE), providing: computer design of welded structures (WS) on
a basis of 3D parametrized models of functional elements. Computer simulation of welding in a free state on the
assumption that all welds are applied simultaneously. Simulation of the interaction of a pre-stressed WS with external
static and dynamic loads. Assessment of the availability and visibility of welds, taking into account the results of
designing assembly-welding fixtures. Computer synthesis of fixtures by means of functional elements libraries.
Assessment of changes in the residual stress-strain state of WS in the fixture as compared to free welding. Simulation
of the interaction of external loads with stress-strain state after assembly-welding in the fixture. Supercomputer stresstests
under conditions of an ideal state of welded joints, taking into account the level of allowable and unacceptable
weld defects (corresponding cracks, undercuts, lack of penetration, etc.). Off-line description of working tool tracks
of welding robot and checking the correctness of the control program in the appropriate tool environment. PWE
can provide the engineering prediction of welded structure behavior in dynamic extreme operating conditions.
Supercoputer simulation could be illustraited in real time by means of internet and supercomputer resources of
Supercomputer Remote Access Center in Minsk (Belarus).
