The Hamburg-based software company
Simufact Engineering now offers new
versions of its simulation software
Simufact.forming and Simufact.welding.
Providing more functionality for a broader
scope of application, the new software
versions are employed for the design
and optimisation of manufacturing
techniques in metal processing.
With the new releases, companies aiming
to link various production processes
(from semi-finished material to finished
component) have come closer to their
goal of an integrated, cross-process
approach in the simulation of entire
process chains.
Simufact simulation solutions cover all
essential production processes from
forging to cold massive forming, rolling,
sheet metal forming, mechanical joining,
heat treatment, and welding. Interfaces
also allow customers a fast and reliable
integration of software in their CAD/CAE
environments.
A major step forward is Simufact’s
integration of material data in the
simulation of forming and joining
processes: Simufact.forming 11 and
Simufact.welding 3.1 not only offer a
multitude of new, experimental material
data; they also provide access to high
quality analytical material data.
