Cold forging

Fully automatic multi-stage forging is performed with FORGE for the simulation of this valve housing.

The following image shows the forging sequence on the Coldmatic AKP 4-5 HATEBUR press.

FORGE has been used to improve die life of the third stage of this forging sequence.

The figure shows a concentration (in red) of the radial stress on the die.

With a modification of the die shape, the radial stress on the die is less important as shown on the following figure.


 




   

Fastener : Complex tool sack

FORGE allows a coupled analysis of a complex tool stack with dies made from different materials. Each die is deformable and moves separately from the others.

The exclusive new formulation with a new element type enables the user to compute self contact and the contact between multiple deformable bodies automatically.
