First, the forming process is simulated and the material flow is optimized. The latter procedure is especially user-friendly and can easily be integrated into the workflow because of its short computation time. The die stresses can either be simulated coupled directly with the forming simulation, or can be simulated in a decoupled analysis as a separate step during the post-processing of the underlying forming simulation, for the moments of greatest die loads. Reinforcements (for example, through shrinkage assembly, even multi-tiered ones) can of course be simulated and optimized in regard to their position and overlap. Knowledge of stress distribution, especially the location and amplitude of tension maxima within the dies, is necessary to plan effective counter-measures at the time of design in order to extend the die life, analyze die failures and to evaluate alternative concepts. For every die, whatever the level of complexity, whether they are pre-stressed dies or die reinforcements with an unlimited number of components, this module can offer a greater insight into the die's behavior. This allows for a much more detailed view of the dieРІР‚в„ўs behavior than is possible when only using Simufact Forming Hub. This module enables you to simulate die strains and stresses in order to predict the stress distribution in the forming dies.
