Anticipate the presence of defects EXCLUSIVE FEATURES TO MEET YOUR CHALLENGES FORGE® has unique features such as point tracking to easily detect any cold-shut areas in the part. • Identify laps at each stage of forging • Follow progression and determine whether the fold moves to the flash • Measure the depth of the fold • Ability to perform a reverse analysis and understand the origin of the fold Prevent deformations, wear and tool breakage Whatever the stage of the process, FORGE® predicts stress distributions in tooling, abrasive wear, temperatures as well as areas subjected to elastic or...

Predicting metal fibering is essential to ensure that forgings possess good mechanical properties, especially in terms of fatigue resistance and resilience. • View fibering at all stages of the process • Prevent “fibering exits” as flash Predict areas subject to damage FORGE® incorporates several damage criteria that can be enabled to detect critical areas on the part. • Latham & Cockcroft, Oyane, Chaboche-Lemaitre, Rice-Tracey fracture criterion • Dang Van criterion for fatigue damage • Identify areas subject to high triaxial stress • Isolate risk areas with crack formation ELIMI AN FORGI...

Closed die forging Cold forming FORGE® meets your needs for cold heading and more generally for all cold forming processes such as riveting, wire drawing, heading or cold extrusion. • Balancing of heading stations • Tracking of dimensional variations due to springback • Multi-domain tooling analysis (die, punch, insert, die case) with consideration of prestress • Self-contact and stress resistance management of mechanical assemblies Whether you are dealing with the production of large or medium series, FORGE® is the reference simulation tool for all your parts made by closed die forging. •...

FORGE®: a solution dedicated to your business Open die forging FORGE® simulates all the main open die forging processes: cogging, becking, mandrel drawing and blooming. With the actual manipulator geometry, FORGE® integrates the impact of the contact zone, temperature and local heat exchange. Passes below critical thresholds are detected using sensors that control both core and surface temperatures. A one of a kind MPFx file (Multi-Pass-File) to easily define the process sequence (pass advance and depth, successive part rotations, manipulator gripping and release). Your advantages for open...

Faced with an increasing demand for the prediction of the in-use properties of forged parts, it is crucial to be able to simulate the heat treatment operations as well as the metallurgical changes inherent to the manufacturing process. FORGE® simulates a wide range of heat treatments (austenitization, annealing, tempering, quenching, normalization, controlled cooling) and thermochemical treatments (carburizing and nitriding). For steels, FORGE® includes an automatic TTT diagram generator that calculates transformation curves from the chemical composition. From a CCT diagram, this same...
