Welding simulation 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 parts focuses on computational strategies and how they are integrated with other methods to facilitate the use of simulations in engineering. These developments have lead to the increased application of welding simulations in industry.
