Challenge

- Solve sheet or plate forming processes of clad-metal with titanium skin and aluminum base

- Create layered mesh system

- Predict fracture phenomena and accurate product dimensions

Solution

- AFDEX offers a special routine for generating layered finite element models with tetrahedral elements, which can be effectively employed in revealing fracture at the corners or vicinities.

Benefits

- AFDEX can be a powerful solution provider in solving plate or sheet metal forming processes, especially for clad-metals using solid elements.

- AFDEX has special functions for processes such as blank holding force-exerting die, spring attached die, layered mesh generation scheme, etc.

“AFDEX team provided us solutions of clad-metal forming processes faster than expected, whose level of simulation was unattainable by other software we tried before.

It has a beautiful mesh.”
