DEFORM 2D Product Suite

• Deformation and heat transfer are calculated in an integrated simulation environment.
• Two-dimensional simulation can be conducted for axisymmetric or plane strain cases.
• Fully automatic, optimized remeshing is performed during simulation.
• Forming equipment models are available for hydraulic presses, hammers, screw presses and mechanical presses.
• FLOWNET and point tracking deformation, contour plots, loadstroke prediction and more are available in the postprocessor.

DEFORM-2D also includes the following:

• Additional thermal elasto-plastic, thermal rigid viscoplastic and porous material models.
• Multiple deforming body capability for the analysis of multiple plastic workpieces or coupled die stress analysis
• Fracture prediction based on damage models.
• Self-contact boundary condition to allow a simulation to continue even after a lap or fold has formed.
• Multiple operation capability enabling common forming and thermal processes to be set up and run sequentially without intervention.
• Machining distortion ‘template’ to streamline the calculation of distortion after material removal.
