SCORING MODULES - EVALUATE AGAINST ASME
/ AWS D1.1
The SCORING MODULE feature can be used when the user wishes
to have their welding evaluated against the ASME or AWS D1.1
standards. This option can be selected by entering the INSTRUCTORS
MODE. The only screen the Instructors Mode can be accessed from
is the Sign In screen. Select the SCORING MODULE located at the
bottom right corner of the Instructors Mode screen. Toggle between
Based on ASME Standards, Based on D1.1 Standards, and None.
Press the orange BACK icon twice to return to the Sign In screen.
ALUMINUM WELDING SIMULATION
The Aluminum GMAW feature in your VRTEX allows the system to
simulate the look, sound, discontinuities, equipment settings and
Theory definitions for the Aluminum GMAW process. Aluminum
GMAW simulates Pulse and Spray welding on tee joints (2F and
3F) and groove (1G, 2G and 3G) on 3/8" and 10 gage material.
The electrode of choice for this training is the SuperGlaze™ 4043
electrode and the base material is 6061 grade aluminum.
STAINLESS STEEL WELDING SIMULATION
The Stainless GMAW feature in your VRTEX allows the system to
simulate the look, sound, discontinuities, equipment settings and
Theory definitions for Stainless GMAW. Stainless GMAW simulates
Pulse and Spray welding on tee joints (2F and 3F) and groove (1G and
3G). For more information on how to operate the Stainless GMAW
feature, visit: www.vrtex.com for the latest instruction manual.
The electrode of choice for this training is the Blue Max™ 308L Si
electrode and the base material is 308 grade stainless steel.
REPLAY MODE
The Video Replay feature in your VRTEX provides the ability to view
your virtual weld video once you have completed it. This feature
offers students and instructors the ability to refine skills by replaying
the weld performed from the different viewing angles and discussing
technique.

DEMO WELD MODE
The Demo Weld feature in your VRTEX provides an example of the
virtual weld you have selected. By selecting and viewing this virtual
weld, you can see the suggested technique on how to successfully
make the chosen weld.
