The software considers, amongst others
the actual kinematics of a machine, no matter what type or how complex it might be
material behavior - elasticity, plasticity, increase and decrease of strain hardening as well as temperature and velocity related effects
friction and contact between tools and forming parts
self-contact of forming parts to predict folds
thermodynamics of the process: initial heating conditions, heat transfer into tools and environment, temperature increase due to forming energy and friction, etc.

High quality results are guaranteed since Simufact.forming is based on MSC.Software's first class standard solvers MSC.Marc - the high-end finite element solver for nonlinear applications - and MSC.Dytran - the powerful finite volume solver. Both products are continuously being enhanced, and we integrate them into new Simufact product versions. The solver technologies enable the representation of complex nonlinear physics of the forming process with high precision.

Product Portfolio - Modular Concept
Simufact.forming follows a modular design. This modular concept of Simufact products helps you to pick out the relevant product functionality that fits your needs. This approach is cost-effective and adjusts to changing requirements.

The software´s Application Modules make available the process-specific functionality for all essential fields of application of forming simulation. The functionalities of the application modules allow for the simulation of individual process steps and can also be combined to simulate entire manufacturing process chains.
