1. A simulated welding system, comprising:

  • a mock welding coupon;

    a mock welding tool for simulating a welding process on the mock welding coupon, wherein the mock welding tool is configured to be spatially tracked by a spatial tracker when manipulated by a user relative to the mock welding coupon; and

    a programmable processor-based subsystem operable to execute coded instructions, the coded instructions cause the programmable processor-based subsystem to;

    simulate a weldment responsive to the user'"'"'s manipulations of the mock welding tool relative to the mock welding coupon, wherein the weldment includes defects resulting from the manipulation, by the user, of the mock welding tool relative to the mock welding coupon;

    perform a simulated test of the weldment by performing a simulated test on the weldment to generate test data and by comparing data representing the defects of the weldment to predefined welding standards and generate corresponding test data; and

    output recommended corrective actions for the user based at least in part on the test data.
