What does the name SORPAS stand for?
Simulation and Optimization of Resistance Projection And Spot welding processes. Q: I am a welding engineer. Can I learn to use SORPAS? A: Yes. It is our objective to provide a handy software tool directly for engineers to use in industry. With our training programme, it takes only one or two days for engineers to learn SORPAS. Some users have even started using SORPAS on their own. Experiences have also shown that it is more essential to have welding knowledge for making realistic simulations than to have only knowledge in numerical modelling. Q: How much time does it take with the training course to learn SORPAS? A: Usually one day of training is sufficient for users who have knowledge both in welding and in numerical simulations. However, we recommend that it is more effective for industrial users to have a two day training course. The first day is mainly an introduction of theoretical foundations and some exercises with standard examples. On the second day, the users can have hands
