Software "AutoForm-Thermo Plug-In"

You can analyze the impact of the actual mold temperature and its further effect on the molding results.

The "AutoForm-Thermo Plug-In" is software used in conjunction with AutoForm-FormingSolver to consider common thermal effects in cold, warm, and hot press forming simulations. If there is no need to consider the effects of phase transformation, this plug-in can be used to examine the feasibility of parts and processes. It optimizes forming and production process parameters while executing final validation analysis, taking thermal behavior into account. 【Features】 ■ Realistic simulation of thermal effects in the press forming process ■ More realistic modeling of temperature-dependent friction behavior when used in conjunction with the TriboForm Plug-In ■ Simulation of the quenching process for manganese-boron steel using the AutoForm-PhaseChange Plug-In 【Main Functions】 ■ Fast simulation of thermal behavior in the press forming process ■ Complete thermo-mechanical coupled simulation that does not consider phase-dependent material properties ■ Graphic display of simulation results ■ Final part characteristics display, including temperature changes and distribution of parts and molds, thickness distribution, strain-stress distribution, and springback.
