Material models for hot, warm and cold forging. For cold forging, genuine elasto-plastic models to finely predict the final dimensions taking into consideration theecrystallized rates during heating and forging operations. elastic spring back (in particular for net-shape components). Data for a wide range of materials.
Metallurgy prediction: prediction of the grain size and r
Included press and equipment kinematics: hydraulic press, hammer, counter blow hammer, knuckle joint press, mechanical press, multi-speed hydraulic press, screw press, link drive press.
Die analysis: prediction of abrasive wear, stress distribution, thermal distribution. Coupled analysis into the dies during the part’s simulation.
Optimization: fully automatic optimization tool, including CAD system coupling feature, for initial billet weight reduction, for die analysis, as well as process parameters identification like material data (anisotropic coefficient for example), friction coefficient, Heat Transfer Coefficient, Computation time: best parallel speed-up,
Chaining of all the forming operations and related operations (cutting, heat treatment)
