Do you want to further increase your productivity? Learn how to use the new features in FORGE NxT 4.1 and make them work for you!
By the end of this course, you will be able to use all new features in FORGE® NxT 4.1 and work with the best practices to configure data and analyze results. FORGE® NXT 4.0 provided a new user experience thanks to the optimization module freshly implemented in its interface. With FORGE® Nxt 4.1, we go a step further, new actions are available, linked parameters available among other new features. You will also benefit from the reduction of computation times in 2D. The implementation of local remeshing in 3D improves the quality and accuracy of the solutions. It is now possible to model the steady state in cold rolling. This approach reduces the computation time. The new heat treatment functionalities will also be covered in this course.
Goals:
- Mastering the new features in FORGE® NxT 4.1
- Taking advantage of the new features of the interface to configure data and analyze results faster
- Increasing the predictive quality of your simulations with more realistic data setups
- Gaining experience based on practical case studies
Duration: 1 day
