A helical gear forging process, a special forward extrusion process, was simulated using the intelligent remeshing function. Effective strain and the mesh system were shown in the figure and animation.

A steering pinion forging process, a special backward and forward extrusion process, was simulated using the intelligent remeshing function. Effective strain and the mesh system were shown in the figure and animation.  

A roll cam forging process was simulated with emphasis on predicting formation of gear shape using the intelligent remeshing function. 

Comparison of tetrahedral and hexahedral elements was made for the CV-joint cold forging process, which shows an acceptable similarity.

The CV-joint outer race undergoes significant deformation during a multi-stage cold forging process. Finite element analysis accurately predicts the deformed surface geometry and the contact areas between the material and the dies. An advanced mesh density control function, based on the principle of intelligent remeshing, ensures reliable simulation performance throughout the process. AFDEX delivers best-in-class…
