Engineering science always involves, at least at some point, the use and deployment of simulations. Be it for materials, their interface, various stresses acting on them or just a simple strength test, the demand for comprehensive model engineering software is present. WELSIM aims at addressing that demand through a comprehensive platform that covers a wide range of elements, systems and frameworks that are undertaken whenever simulating various aspects of material science used in engineering approaches.

Unlike similar software, WELSIM might, at least in terms of first impressions, leave users thinking that there is much to be desired of as far as actual features go. But, upon close inspection, appearances are blown away.

Simply resizing the interface and going through all the menus reveals a plethora of tools, each compartmentalized into different sections, each with different purposes and subsequent features.

Materials can be defined or used as they come in a pre-defined library and each different project can be customized in terms of properties, values, results or tabular data. The available panels can be toggled and moved around in order to sit one’s requirements.

All-in-all, WELSIM offers a very complex and feature-packed bundle, which is hard to fault, unless you really start looking for flaws in its different nooks and crannies. However, one aspect which might be improved is the viewing area, which could benefit from more advanced features.

Those who need to perform simulations for engineering purposes that involve materials and their response to certain factors could find a reliable tool in this program. Packed with loads of features that are thoughtfully laid-out, it provides good functionality.
