1. A method of tuning an arc welding system comprising an electric circuit including a power source, and a control system including computer means and memory means, the method comprising:
- determining values of system input parameters of the electric circuit;
calculating tuning parameter values from these system input parameters by using a simulation model of the arc welding system; and
tuning the arc welding system by implementing the tuning parameter values into the control system, wherein the simulation model is calibrated to represent the actual welding situation by measurement of model parameter values on the welding station on site.
