Introduction of software that considers phase transformation between quenching and thermal deformation after cooling.
The "AutoForm-PhaseChange Plug-In" is software that, when combined with the AutoForm-Thermo Plug-In, allows for realistic simulation of the hot press forming process for ultra-high-strength steel materials.
In the automotive industry, the hot press forming process is crucial for meeting the requirements of improved collision safety levels and weight reduction.
【Features】
■ Realistic simulation of hot press forming and quenching processes
■ Forming of complex-shaped parts with suppressed springback effects
■ Press-formed parts that meet target local strength characteristics
■ Improved accuracy in collision analysis
【Main Functions】
■ Rapid simulation of direct and indirect hot press forming processes
■ Complete thermo-mechanical coupled simulation considering phase-dependent material properties
■ Phase transformation during quenching and thermal deformation after cooling
■ Support for tailored tempering processes
■ Graphic display of final part characteristics, including thickness distribution, strain-stress distribution, and distribution and ratio of different material phases, along with the resulting hardness.
