POSFORM-A CAE System for Analysis and Design of Forging Processes

POSFORM - 단조공정 해석 및 설계용 CAE 시스템

A finite-element based forging simulator, POSFORM, for automatic computer simulation of two-dimensional and axisymmetric forging processes was introduced in this paper. POSFORM is characterized by solution accuracy, user-friendliness, applicability and extensibility. Basic principles and capabilities of the program were introduced. Several application examples found in cold or hot forging companies of automotive or mechanical parts were given.
