The application module Open Die Forging enablessimulation of open die forging processes, both cold and hot: cogging, radial forging, rotary swaging, shell forging, partial rotary forging, and special processes implemented by customizing.
The Simufact Forming Open Die Forging application module offers simulation of open die forging processes such as cogging, radial forging, rotary swaging, shell forging, forging over mandrels, partial rotary forging, and custom defined processes.
With Simufact Forming you can simulate open die forging processes in all dimensions and for your whole product range. The software supports both hot and cold forging processes as well as pass-schedule-based closed-loop controls for a diverse range of open die forging processes.
With Simufact Forming you can model the entire production process chain for a part or system.
Simufact Forming begins the chain with the output from leading casting simulation programs, then applies the initial heat treatment and open die forging process, with its numerous blows, passes and heats; and finishes with the final heat treatment. In the case of semi-finished products that have been forged, their further processing by forming and cutting operations can be simulated seamlessly. An example process chain may start from ingots, on to open die forging, sheet metal rolling, and deep drawing to mechanical joining and welding (with Simufact Welding), including heating, cooling, and heat treatment processes.
For a realistic simulation of open die forging processes, Simufact.forming takes into account the typical environment of incremental forming:
A great number of users, among them leading machinery manufacturers, trust Simufact’s simulation technology. Among others, the following companies apply Simufact Forming Open Die Forging:
