DEFORM is an engineering software that enables designers
to analyze metal forming processes on the computer rather than
the shop floor using trial and error. Process simulation using
DEFORM has been instrumental in cost, quality and delivery improvements
at leading companies for nearly a decade. Today's competitive
pressures require companies to take advantage of every tool at
their disposal. DEFORM has proven itself to be extremely effective
in a wide range of research and industrial applications.
DEFORM Systems include Automatic Mesh Generation (AMG), which
allows users to specify remeshing criteria and optimization
criteria for an intelligent mesh, based on solution behavior.
The AMG system is optimized to meet the severe requirements
of large deformation modeling. Forming equipment models are
coupled into the simulation engine. The energy loss of a hammer,
screw press or power limits of hydraulic press can be included
in the analysis.
Corner unfill, load requirements and die pressures are available
outputs. Graphical output includes deformed mesh (to demonstrate
material flow), nodal velocities (to quantify local material
flow at any time during the process) and field variables which
are easily available. Graphics can be exported to word processors
or other programs for reports or presentations.
DEFORM includes sophisticated animation creation and replay
capability, which allows users to graphically demonstrate material
flow and the change in field variables in a "real time"
display format. |
