Infosheet Application module

● Defining a new process requires an

application module to be selected.

● All metal forming processes are supported.

● Brief descriptions introduce each

application module.

● Every application module contains

individual default settings for solver, mesher
and machine kinematics.

● These settings can be changes after a

process has been created.

● Further information can be accessed via:

Demos+Examples
Infosheet Application module
Serves to simulate bulk metal forming
processes below the recrystallisation
temperature of the material, including
warm forming processes.
Serves to simulate bulk metal forming
processes above the recrystallisation
temperature of the material.
Serves to simulate sheet metal
forming processes, including thick
sheets and hollow cylinders when
changes of the wall thickness are of
secondary importance.
Serves to simulate processes that do not
belong to any specific application module.
No restrictions are made for the solver
and meshing technologies but the
kinematics of the application modules ring
rolling and open die forging are not
available.
Serves to simulate rolling processes.
Independent of the temperature of the
rolled workpiece, both sheet as well as
bulk geometries can be rolled. The rolled
piece can move translationally or
rotationally.
Serves to simulate ring rolling processes.
For the auxiliary tools kinematics are
provided that depend on the growth of the
ring. Supports both cold and hot ring
rolling processes.
Infosheet Application module
Serves to simulate open die forging
processes. Pass schedules and
kinematics for the forging dies are
provided that depend on the
deformation of the workpiece.
Serves to simulate pressure welding
processes like friction welding or
resistance welding. You can use at least
two deformable components to be joined.

Serves to simulate heat treatment

processes with consideration of
phase transformations.

Serves to simulate mechanical

joining processes. You can use at
least two deformable components to
be joined and a deformable joining
element if required.
