Overview of DEFORM
DEFORM is a Finite Element Method (FEM) based process simulation system
designed to analyze various forming and heat treatment processes used by metal
forming and related industries. By simulating manufacturing processes on a
computer, this advanced tool allows designers and engineers to:
· Reduce the need for costly shop floor trials and redesign of tooling and
processes
· Improve tool and die design to reduce production and material costs
· Shorten lead time in bringing a new product to market
Unlike general purpose FEM codes, DEFORM is tailored for deformation modeling.
A user friendly graphical user interface provides easy data preparation and analysis
so engineers can focus on forming, not on learning a cumbersome computer system.
A key component of this is a fully automatic, optimized remeshing system tailored
for large deformation problems.
