MSC.SuperForm in Short Overview
Simulation Of Bulk Forming Manufacturing Processes Forging Extrusion Axial Rolling Ring Rolling Cogging Bending Cutting
Why Simulation Reduce Time to Market Reduce Cost of Tool Development Predict Influence of Process Parameters Reduce Productions Cost Improve Product Quality Better Understanding of Material Behavior Reduce Material Waste
Manufacturing Results Accurately predict the material flow Determine degree of filling of the swage or die Accurate assessment of net shape Predict if laps or other defects exist Determine the stresses, temperatures, and residual stresses in the work piece. Determine optimal shape of preform
Material Behavior Determine material properties such as grain size Determine local hardness Predict material damage Predict phase changes and composition Simulate the influence of material selection
Tool Results Determine the forming loads Determine the stresses in the tools Evaluate tool wear or fatigue Simulate the influence of lubrication Optimize multi-tool process
Simulation allows you to capture behavior that can not be readily measured – providing deeper insight into your manufacturing processes
