DEFORM™-F3 is an extremely capable process simulation system designed to analyze the three-dimensional (3D) flow of metal forming processes such as die forging, cold heading, upsetting and extrusion. DEFORM-F3 is a practical and efficient tool to predict the material flow in industrial forming operations without the cost and delay of shop trials.
Based on the finite element method (FEM), DEFORM has proven to be accurate and robust in industrial applications for more than two decades. The simulation engine is capable of predicting metal flow, loads and defects with astonishing precision.
The automatic mesh professional generator produces an optimized mesh system with local element size control based on the specific process being analyzed with little to no user input. FEM parameters are derived from the process details supplied by the user. Gravity-based drop positioning allows a user to easily handle ill-defined workpiece location in die forgings.
