Simufact Forming takes into account all areas of forming technology and therefore ensures a highly realistic simulation of the processes. We achieve this high degree of precision by using boundary conditions and representations that have been conceived with the demands of the user in mind. Simufact Forming considers:

• The kinematics of the machine, no matter what kind, and no matter how complex
• The behavior of the material, elasticity, plasticity, hardening and softening, as well as effects that depend on temperature and speed
• “As easy as possible – as complex as necessary”The complexity and precision of the simulation model can be increased, if necessary. For example, single pre-defined model parameters can be replaced by measured values.

 SIMUFACT Welding

• identify critical distortions, i.e. with respect to assembly, bulging, imbalances, and clearances
• investigate and optimize clamping tools even before an investment in tools has been made
• identify optimal welding directions and welding sequences
•  investigate the influence of unclamping on welding distortions and residual stresses
•  gain knowledge about the development of the heat affected zone
• use a tool which supports you during planning of welding processes

SIMUFACT Additive

Problem Solver-Simufact Additive features help you solve the main issues of metal 3D printing:

• Reduce distortion
• Minimize residual stress to avoid failure
• Optimise build-orientation
• Optimise support structures
