MSC Simufact Forming Overview
Accurate simulations are possible by capturing the key aspects that affect the processes, which include:The kinematics of the machine,
Nonlinear material behavior of the workpiece, including plasticity, rate dependency, and temperature effects,
Friction and contact between tools and forming parts,
Self-contact of forming parts to predict folds, and
Thermodynamics of the process: initial heating conditions, temperature increase due to forming energy and friction, and heat transfer between tools, workpiece, and environment.
Features of MSC Simufact Forming
Multiple modules are available in MSC Simufact Forming 15 to address the processes you are interested in. The core module of Forming Hub includes the key functionality necessary for the simulation software's operation and handling (GUI, solver, material database, etc.), along with capabilities to perform cold forming and hot forging simulations. Users can choose from the others listed below to augment their simulation capabilities.
Sheet metal forming
Rolling
Ring rolling
Open die forging
Heat treatment
