 Crankshaft
This example shows the FORGE simulation of a large crankshaft (Courtesy of IMATRA KILSTA). See the press releases. |

Bar shearing This example shows the cold shearing of a bar. In this application, the most important results provided by FORGE are the press load and how the shearing progresses. At the end of the simulation, FORGE predicts the shape of the sheared surface and the residual stresses. |

Knuckle Full hot forging sequence of the Maybach steel knuckle The following automotive application illustrates the efficiency of FORGE to simulate a complete forging sequence of a complex part. Such a simulation enables the users to optimize each stage of the forming sequence. Multi-stage forming operations together with heating operations have been easily analysed within a single simulation project. Courtesy of CDP Bharat Forge (Germany) Preforming

Ring rolling FORGE was used in this example to determine the appropriate stroke to achieve a better shape and correct filling without creating flash or other defects. The following animation shows the ring movement. FORGE helps the user to predict if the process will be stable or unstable. |

Coupled die computations
Coupled die analysis is illustrated on the following automotive
application. FORGE has enabled the simulation of a complex tool
stack made of 8 different deformable dies.  |
