DEFORM-3D Shape Rolling Module
DEFORM can be used to simulate Shape Rolling processes to predict material folds, underfill, spread, bowing, end effects and torque. A Lagrangian solver is available to study the transient effects throughout the process, while an ALE option predicts the ‘steady state’ behavior. A ‘wizard style’ preprocessor simplifies the model setup.

A typical shape rolling process has several rolling passes with various roll geometries and processing conditions. Process parameters such as roll reduction, progression and rolling
speed can be optimized. A library of common roll shapes and primitives is available to efficiently define roll and workpiece geometry. Processes can be modeled using a full model to study
bowing or process variation. Quarter or half symmetry can be used to increase simulation speed. The Shape Rolling module runs in conjunction with DEFORM-3D.
