Manufacturing Process Simulation
The simulation of manufacturing processes can be an extremely cost-effective application of FEA technology. Technically demanding, applications such as metal forming, machining, heat treatment, casting and plastics injection moulding require powerful material and geometric non-linear capabilities, adaptive meshing and a user environment that speaks the language of manufacturing and process development engineers.
Benefits include:
- Increased innovation
- Optimised rather than marginal processes
- Reduced shop trials & development costs
- Improved process design & less reliance on experience
- Higher quality products and less scrap & rework
Wilde have been involved in the application of manufacturing simulation since early adoption by industry in the mid-1990s. Today, we have the leading solver solutions for metals and plastics processing, heat treatment and machining, including microstructure prediction. For problems involving gas or liquid-type (low viscosity) fluid behaviour within manufacturing processes, please view our CFD-Based Manufacturing Simulation Solutions.

ANSYS POLYFLOW is an advanced general purposed finite-element-based software product for the analysis of polymer processing and glass forming. POLYFLOW is particularly well-known for its extensive library of viscoelastic fluid models.
If you are simulating short, high deformation, large strain, fracture or complete material failure applications, explicit solvers are often required to model the extreme behaviour involved. Three products are available within the ANSYS suite with an extensive material library and flexible solutio...
