However, the challenge is to find the optimal set-up within this large parameter space. In this article, numerical welding simulation is used to deal with this challenge. For a car door, different welding sequences and weld positions were numerically analyzed and compared with respect to its welding distortion behavior.enwelding distortioncar doorwelding simulationlaser remote weldingcar body constructionwelding sequence531journal article
