1.3. Analyzing manufacturing processes with DEFORM
DEFORM can be used to analyze most thermo-mechanical forming processes, and
many heat treatment processes. The general approach is to define the geometry and
material of the initial workpiece in DEFORM, then sequentially simulate each
process that is to be applied to the workpiece.

The recommended sequence for designing a manufacturing process using
DEFORM

1. Define your proposed process
• Final forged part geometry
• Material
• Tool progressions
• Starting workpiece/billet geometry
• Processing temperatures, reheats, etc.
2. Gather required data
• Material data
• Processing condition data
3. Using the DEFORM pre-processor, input the problem definition for the
first operation
4. Submit the data for simulation
5. Using the DEFORM post-processor, review the results
6. Repeat the preprocess-simulate-review sequence for each operation in the
process
