Abstract This paper deals with conceptual orientation and system development of intelligent support system for general purpose FEA (finite element analysis) programs. An integrated support system called “InhierTalk” (Integrated interactive environment for hierarchical representation for FEA) has been developed in Smalltalk, an object oriented language, in order to confirm effectivity of hierarchical representation and to establish an optimum method of the system development. Two object-oriented knowledge models which consist of macro visual data representation and micro regularized data representation are proposed. In the development, it is found to be clear that active and passive evaluation methods are effective for construction of support system.

A finite element procedure to predict residual stresses on the multi-pass arc welding considering the multi-layered beads and solid–liquid phase transformation in the melted bead is implemented and experimentally validated. The nonlinearities of material properties are considered in the thermo-elasto-plastic distortion analysis. Element birth and death technique is used to simulate the weld metal added to base metal in both heat transfer and thermo-elasto-plastic analysis. Residual stresses and strains are computed for butt welding and T-joints fillet welding. The stress distributions calculated by proposed finite element analysis procedure are compared with the measured values of experiments and data available in the other studies. The efficiency of the proposed finite element analysis and experimental procedure is discussed and demonstrated.
