COLDFORM Description
Cold forming tools experience significant mechanical and tribological stresses throughout their operational lifespan, which in some instances can result in premature damage to the tools. Given that these tools constitute a substantial portion of the manufacturing costs for components, it is crucial to proactively address potential issues during the design phase. The COLDFORM® software offers the ability to assess the mechanical strength of dies, thereby enhancing their longevity. It calculates stress distribution within the die, as well as monitoring deformations, wear, temperature variations, and any damage that may occur throughout the process. Furthermore, COLDFORM® can perform quick analyses by applying the stresses derived from the forming process to the tools. Additionally, the software supports coupled part/tool simulations, yielding highly accurate outcomes. With features focused on pre-stressed dies, it allows for precise assessment of the required pre-stressing for the interference fit of the tools. This capability ultimately aids manufacturers in optimizing tool performance and reducing costs associated with tool replacements.

Azore CFD
Azore is software for computational fluid dynamics. It analyzes fluid flow and heat transfers. CFD allows engineers and scientists to analyze a wide range of fluid mechanics problems, thermal and chemical problems numerically using a computer. Azore can simulate a wide range of fluid dynamics situations, including air, liquids, gases, and particulate-laden flow. Azore is commonly used to model the flow of liquids through a piping or evaluate water velocity profiles around submerged items. Azore can also analyze the flow of gases or air, such as simulating ambient air velocity profiles as they pass around buildings, or investigating the flow, heat transfer, and mechanical equipment inside a room. Azore CFD is able to simulate virtually any incompressible fluid flow model. This includes problems involving conjugate heat transfer, species transport, and steady-state or transient fluid flows.

DIGIMU
DIGIMU® creates digital polycrystalline microstructures that accurately reflect the material's heterogeneities, ensuring compliance with the intricate topological features of the microstructure. The boundary conditions applied to the Representative Elementary Volume (REV) mimic the experiences of a material point at the macroscopic level, particularly during the thermomechanical cycles relevant to that specific point. Utilizing a Finite Element formulation, the software simulates the various physical phenomena occurring in metal forming processes, such as recrystallization, grain growth, and Zener pinning caused by second phase particles. To enhance digital accuracy and minimize computation times, DIGIMU® employs advanced automated anisotropic meshing and remeshing adaptation technology, which allows for a detailed representation of grain boundaries while optimizing the number of elements used. This innovative approach not only streamlines the computational process but also improves the reliability of the simulations, making it a powerful tool for material scientists.
