Abstract Simulation of welding has advanced from the analysis of laboratory setups to real engineering applications during the last three decades. This development is outlined and the directions for future research are summarized in this review, which consists of three parts. This part shows that the increased complexity of the models gives a better description of the engineering applications. The important development of material modeling and computational efficiency are outlined in Parts 2 and 3, respectively.
