Training - Starting with COLDFORM®

This course will be your first approach to COLDFORM® software. The first day lets you understand all of the data setup steps, the procedure for launching computations and how to analyze the main results. The second day will be dedicated to a more in-depth analysis of notions such as forming defect detection, dimensional checks (spring-back) and residual stresses.
To better interpret physical phenomena, key functions will also be covered such as Die stress analysis (with or without interference fit), fibering and point tracking techniques.

Goals:

• Data setup for a cold forming case study using a multi-station process
• Launching a single computation and/or a computation sequence
• Analyzing simulation results
• Identifying and interpreting forming defects (folds, cracks, etc.)
• Measuring spring-back and quantifying residual stresses
• Viewing grain flow and monitoring physical values (temperature, pressure, etc.) at any point on the part
• Predicting stress states in tooling or in pre-stressed assemblies
• Customizing your working environment

Duration: 2 days
