DEFORM TM -3D is applicable to a wide range of processes and geometries including a hot forged steering link (above) and cold formed gear carrier (below). On the right, a stress ana lysis is shown of a die assembly, including interference fit between the case and die insert. Red indicates a higher level of effective stress.

DEFORM™ -3D is a powerful process simulation system designed to an alyze the three-dimensional (3D) flow of complex metal forming processes. DEFORM™ -3D is a practical and efficient tool to predict the material flow in industrial forming operations without the cost and delay of shop trials. Typical applications include:

Based on the finite element method, DEFORM™ has proven to be accurate and robust in industrial application for more than two decades. The simulation engine is capable of predicting large deformation material flow and thermal behavior with astonishing precision.
The automatic mesh generator (AMG) produces an optimized mesh system with local element size control based on the specific process being a nalyzed. This facilitates the enhanced resolution of part features while maintaining good control of the overall problem size and computing requirements.
While DEFORM™ -3D provides sophisticated a nalysis capabilities, the graphical user interface is intuitive and easy to learn. Moreover, it provides utilities to manipulate 3D geometry, including boolean capabilities to trim flash. DEFORM™ -3D is the foundation for a comprehensive modeling system that integrates raw material production, forming, heat treatment and machining.
DEFORM™ -3D continues the tradition of accuracy and state-of-the-art capabilities established in the early 1980’s. Scientific Forming Technologies Corporation has the experience and background to provide unparalleled training and technical support.

• DEFORM™ -3D simulates material flow, die fill, forming load, tool stress and defect formation in cold, warm and hot forming processes.
• Fully automatic optimized remeshing is performed during a simulation with the AMG mesh generator. No user interven- tion is required.
• DEFORM™ -3D supports input from CAD systems in the form of a surface or solid mesh, as well as the stereolithographics (STL/SLA) format.
• Boundary condition generation during preprocessing has been automated to ensure fast and reliable data preparation.
• Forming equipment interaction during the deformation pro- cess is an alyzed for hydraulic presses, hammers, screw presses, mechanical presses, rolling mills and rotary forges.
• Material models include elastic, rigid plastic, thermal elasto- plastic, thermal rigid-viscoplastic, porous and rigid.
• Heat transfer between and within objects can be an alyzed as a stand-alone process or as an integral part of a deformation simulation.
• A very efficient one-step die stress an alysis is available, which includes multiple deforming body an alysis and interference-fit between dies.
• FLOWNET and point tracking are included in the powerful postprocessor along with deformation, contour plots, load- stroke prediction and more.
• The postprocessor supports OpenGL graphics. This provides the user with capabilities to examine and understand the solution results graphically. Transparency and slicing allows user to ‘see’ inside of the work piece or die.
• Mirroring capabilities in the postprocessor provide the user with an opportunity to simulate a symmetrical section of the process for computational efficiency while retaining the ability to display the entire geometry.
• DEFORMTM- 3D runs on popular UNIX workstations and WINDOWS NT/2000/XP.
• The minimum recommended configuration is 512 MB RAM. 1+ GB RAM may be required for large models.
• Multiple CPU support is available with the MPI option.
• At least 5 GB of free disk space, a color monitor and a POSTSCRIPT printer are recommended. A WINDOWS printer is recommended for NT/2000XP systems.
• DEFORMTM- 3D is distributed on CD -ROM or via Internet download. Access to a CD writer or tape drive is recommended for back-up purposes.
• Internet access is desirable to take advantage of on-line technical support and service pack updates.
• Training, support and regular updates are available to DEFORMTM Users.
• DEFORMTM Users Group meetings are held regularly.
• The DEFORMTM Material Database with in excess of 150 materials is supplied by SFTC.
