Crankshaft Hot Forging Simulation

Complete analysis, that is, fully coupled analysis between die-material deformation as well as flow and heat transfer problems in a crankshaft hot forging simulation was conducted using AFDEX’s rigid-thermo-viscoplastic finite element analysis function of the latest version with die deformation coupled with plastic deformation of material. Note that the computational time was reduced drastically by…

[Cold Forging]Simulation of a precision shaft cold forging process

An automatic multi-stage cold forging process of a precision shaft was simulated using a rigid-plastic finite element method and a fully automatic simulation function. Through the whole simulation, any user intervention was not made. The figure and animation show the damage value calculated by the normalized Cockroft-Latham damage model.
