Given the complexity and curvature of the CAD model, tetrahedral meshing was opted to enhance accuracy and reduce computational time [10]. 2.3 Finite Element Analysis After importing the developed CAD file into the Ansys Modeler Workspace in IGES format, the crucial meshing process was undertaken to facilitate precise simulations through finite element analysis (FEA). 2.3.1 Loading conditions In practice, human teeth exhibit a complex and inhomogeneous structure, comprising layers like enamel, dentin, and the dentin-enamel junction.

Due to the complexity of experimental determination of the heat fluxes and the cooling rates during and after a welding, the numerical simulation has become an interesting tool for the prediction of the temperature field and the flow conditions in the molten pool.
An exception is represented by the work of Tanaka et al. [6], in which both the arc and the anode domain are included in the simulation.
Figure 1: Standard TIG welding configuration In the Table 1 we summarize the process parameters and the material properties adopted in the present simulation.
Summary In the present study we employ a CFD commercial software for predicting the results of a stationary TIG welding process, in particular we are interested the molten pool shape, which determines the weld bead geometry and performance.
