8.1. Introduction
The first forging blow has been simulated and it is now time to model the second blow
which uses a different top die. The new top die geometry will be imported and the
second forging operation will be set up.
8.2. Opening a Previous Simulation
The DEFORM-3D MAIN window should already be open. With the Spike.DB file
highlighted in the file list, click  to open the Pre-processor. Select the end
of the first forging blow, Step 90, and click .
8.3. Changing Top Die for Blow 2
Both the geometry and mesh of the top die have to be changed. Highlight the Top Die in
the Object Tree, click  and delete the mesh by clicking . The
original Top Die mesh is now gone but the old geometry still remains. Click
and import the geometry Spike_TopDie2.STL. The new top die geometry will be shown
in the DISPLAY window. Mesh the new die using the default mesh settings by clicking
 and then . Click the  icon in the General page, to define a
material for the new top die. Click the  button and select the material 'H-13'
from the Die-material Category. Assign this material to the Top die.
