  • Modify tool design for new materials.
  • Yield improvement / flash reduction, reducing rejections
  • Reducing number of stages, cycle time
  • Optimize the metal flow
  • Optimize the power / press tonnage
  • Predict stress, strain, strain rate, stresses, temperature in work piece and dies.
  • Predict defects laps / folds/ underfils
  • Die stress analysis

Rolling

  • Shape rolling, profile rolling.
  • Sheet rolling, HSM modeling,
  • Offline simulator to predict microstructure in rolling.
  • Heat transfer modeling of the ROT, down coiler.
  • Predicting of camber angle.
