Abstract
A method for determining a heat source model for a weld. The method includes the steps of determining a double elliptical distribution of the heat density of the weld, modifying the double elliptical distribution as a function of a profile geometry of the weld, and determining the heat source model as a function of the modified double elliptical distribution.
