data M Software Germany Stand D06

data M develops software to help engineers optimise tube properties and understand the strains a tube undergoes as it is manufactured and later fabricated. This knowledge can help engineers lower the amount of material necessary and also reduce or eliminate annealing, thus maximising energy and material costs.

Involving everyone in the production chain – the roll tooling engineer, tube mill operator, and the fabricator – is the key to making the greatest gains in efficiency. To introduce this ethic at Tube Southeast Asia, the company will present its new version of roll design and process simulation software, branded Copra ® RF and Copra ® FEA RF, which offers enhanced features for the design of roll tooling and the simulation/ verification of the forming process. Copra ® RF, for example, now supports the automatic design and analysis of 4-roll fin passes and 5-roll welding passes and avoids user’s manual interaction in these specific cases. It also allows for the design of cage forming and linear forming tooling. › The latest feature of Copra ® RF is the possibility to integrate drawing dies within a roll forming tool set
