We present an intelligent forging simulator AFDEX. The intelligent forging simulator is determined by the adaptive and optimal mesh generation technique and many intelligent application-oriented special functions which minimize the user-intervention during forging simulation. Of course, the solution accuracy should be optimized in the intelligent simulation. We have developed AFDEX to meet the requirement on intelligent simulation. Its characteristics are introduced with the help of typical application examples.

In this paper, we simulate a rotor pole cold forging process by a forging simulator with both tetrahedral and hexahedral element capabilities and compare the predictions obtained by the two approaches with the experiments. Hexahedral element capability runs manually while tetrahedral element capability runs automatically with help of an intelligent remeshing technique. It is shown that the tetrahedral element capability can give quite accurate solution if assisted by the intelligent remeshing technique even though the tetrahedral element itself is not theoretically and numerically clear.

We conduct intelligent simulation of three-dimensional forging processes in this paper. A new remeshing technique is employed for this purpose. Not only the state variables including strain and strain-rate but also the geometrical features including die-material contact conditions and the characteristic lines or surfaces are taken into account during remeshing. The presented approach is applied to the Baden-Baden benchmark test example and its influence on the simulated results is discussed particularly in terms of the deformed shape with emphasis on the characteristic line.

We simulated a hot forging process for the spider with four legs and an enclosed die forging process for the spider with three legs using an intelligent forging simulator AFDEX 3D and compared the predictions with the experiments in terms of the deformed shape. The formation of characteristic lines was emphasized in the simulation to simulate the extruded legs with higher accuracy.

A three dimensional FEM system for supporting the design procedure of metal forming processes has been developed by integrating the FEA programs md the CAD interface modules. The system is developed to reduce the time, the extorts and the cost for establishing the successful metal forming processes for the given products. To promote practical application by engineers in medium-size enterprises who do not know much about theories of the FEA and others, various databases and intelligent interfacing modules have been developed in PC environment.
