DEFORM TM - F2 DEFORM™-F2 is a powerful simulation system designed to analyze the two-dimensional (2D) flow of various metal forming processes. DEFORM™-F2 is capable of analyzing forging, extrusion, drawing, heading , upsetting and many other industrial metal forming processes. Two-dimension al simulation is especially efficient f or processes that can be described by an axis of symmetry. Disks, hubs, shafts, flanges, fasteners and bearings are representitive of parts that can be efficiently simulate d using DEFORM™-F2. DEFORM™-F2 shares the system architecture, mesh generator and FEM engine with DEFORM™-2D, the standard for process simul ation technology since 1989. The Graphical User Interface (GUI) is optimized for forming processes. It is intuitive and easy to learn. The GUI combines the features of a 'wizard style' system that guid es a user through data preparation with an efficient open system. The result is a production tool that designers and engineers can use to solve today's and tomorrow's forming problems. The powerful simulation engine is capable of analyzing the most complex interactions between a workpiece, dies and forming equipment. This allows a realistic and accurate modeling of the metal forming process in a production environment. The sophisticated mesh generator automatically generates an optimized mesh whenever necessary , without user interaction. Postprocessing results are shown (using DEFORM-TOOLS) on a hot axle upset forging. Contours of tempe rature are shown on t he workpiece. A load-stroke cur ve is shown in the lower lef t. FLOWNET dis plays the gra in flow (gree n circles). Numerous “success stories” have been reported in both product development and die design.

Product Specifications • Hot, warm and cold forming processes are simulated. Die fill, workpi ece and die temperature, load, energy and grain flow are included in the results. • A die stress analysis mode is available to study the elastic stresses in a die assembly . This uses a multiple deforming body decoupled analysis (one step) with shrink fit. • Two-dimensional capabilities include plane strain and axisymmetric simulation. • Fully automatic optimized remeshing is performed during simulation. • Press and hammer models are available. Data for the use rs' equip- ment can be stored in a user library. • The material models include rigid and plastic for formi ng applications. Elastic and rigid models are supported for die stress analysis. • FLOWNET and point tracking defor- mation, contour plots, load-stroke prediction and more are available in the postprocessor. • A self contact boundary condition allows a simulation to continue even after a lap or fold has formed.

DEFORMTM- F2DEFORM-F2 is a powerful simulation system designed to analyze the two-dimensional(2D) flow of various metal forming processes. DEFORM-F2 is capable of analyzingforging, extrusion, drawing, heading, upsetting and many other industrial metal formingprocesses. Two-dimensional simulation is especially efficient for processes that can bedescribed by an axis of symmetry. Disks, hubs, shafts, flanges, fasteners and bearingsare representitive of parts that can be efficiently simulated using DEFORM-F2.
DEFORM-F2 shares the system architecture, mesh generator and FEM engine withDEFORM-2D, the standard for process simulation technology since 1989. TheGraphical User Interface (GUI) is optimized for forming processes. It is intuitive and easyto learn. The GUI combines the features of a 'wizard style' system that guides a userthrough data preparation with an efficient open system. The result is a production tool thatdesigners and engineers can use to solve today's and tomorrow's forming problems.
The powerful simulation engine is capable of analyzing the most complex interactionsbetween a workpiece, dies and forming equipment. This allows a realistic and accuratemodeling of the metal forming process in a production environment. The sophisticatedmesh generator automatically generates an optimized mesh whenever necessary, withoutuser interaction.
Postprocessing results are shown (using DEFORM-TOOLS) on a hot axle upset forging.Contours of temperature are shown on the workpiece. A load-stroke curve is shown in
the lower left. FLOWNET displays the grain flow (green circles).
Numerous success stories have been reported in both product development and diedesign. Scientific Forming, a company dedicated to state-of-the-art process modelingtechnology, provides unparalleled training and technical support. To ensure successfulDEFORM applications, Scientific Forming provides advanced training workshops,frequent program updates and Users Group Meetings.
