Simulations of the welding process for applications of practice using SYSWELD are presented. This paper presents simulation of welding in the repair of high-pressure gas pipeline with steel sleeve with composite filling. Material of experimental sample was steel S355. The simulations in SYSWELD divided in to two parts: the thermal simulation followed by the mechanical simulation. The results of the numerical model, which are listed in article are compared to real experiments.
