AutoForm-PhaseChange Plug-In

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.
