From VirtualArc Customer evaluation

• The major strength of this program is the
  easiness of performing and fine-tuning
  welding tests off-line. This means that
  testing time in the production is reduced to
  a very low level.
• The first year of investment the program has
  paid itself back.
•  
• Another noteworthy aspect is the easy use. Very
  quickly, you get familiar with the
  program.
•  
• The result from the virtual test is very
  precise and for the most applications it
  can be used directly.
