Finite element (FE) analysis of metal forming or assembling processes and structural systems have contributed to enhancing engineering power and engineers’ integrity. They are characterized by diversity and the need for high creativity of engineer...

Plate or sheet forging technology has been become more popular because companies are aiming to meet the global requirements to save the environment. It has been known that plate forging itself is competitive for thin parts in terms of quality and ...

Metal forming has been gradually spreading its influence on modern manufacturing and assembly methods. To achieve a better strength to weight ratio, automotive and aerospace industries are constantly in the lookout for utilizing their accumulated ...

In this webinar, the AFDEX patented technology where metal flow lines are quantified, will be discussed with relevant examples from the industry. Quantification of metal flow lines will pave way to using these flow lines as parameters in optimizat...

A simulation adds more value to the user if it is realistic and includes as much as possible, the actual phenomena associated with the manufacturing process. In this context, a complete simulation of forging process would include elasto-plastic de...

In the webinar, there will be a presentation of the most efficient ways to optimize those process parameters encountered in metal forming processes, which are based on AFDEX, general purpose metal forming simulator and HyperStudy, Altair’s optimiz...

AFDEX is a general-purpose metal forming simulator originally dedicated to the analysis of forging process, and it is based on rigid-elasto/thermo/viscoplastic finite element method.
