Deform 3d: Tutorial [upd]

If your CAD alignment wasn't perfect, use the Movement tool in DEFORM to translate or rotate the dies until they barely touch the workpiece surface.

Define the contact pairs: Workpiece to Top_Die and Workpiece to Bottom_Die .

Ensure all parts are properly oriented in the CAD workspace before exporting to minimize positioning errors later.

Exporting load-stroke curves to determine required press tonnage. 2. Step-by-Step Forging Simulation Setup deform 3d tutorial

If performing a "Hot Forging" simulation, you must set the initial temperatures for all objects and define heat transfer coefficients between them and the environment. 3. Simulation Control & Execution

Success in DEFORM-3D follows a linear path known as the , the Simulation Engine , and the Post-Processor .

Are you looking to track a ? (e.g., die wear, structural cracking, or under-filling) If your CAD alignment wasn't perfect, use the
