Simulation

Simulation incorporating expertise in materials and processes

Our simulation possibilities:

• ANSYS:

  • Linear-elastic simulation – stress and deformation calculation

  • Non-linear simulation –  autofrettage, overload, buckling

  • Bionic optimisation for the design of lightweight geometries

• Simulation of fatigue behaviour:

  • Simulation of the fatigue strength of components

  • Estimation of component life

  • Including, where applicable, results of process simulation

    • Work hardening by cold forging

    • Residual stresses from autofrettage

    • Direction of the fibre flow and shape of mangane sulfides

• Forging simulation:​

  • Simulation of both forging processes, including hot, warm and cold forging or combinations thereof (e.g. hot + cold) as well as of sheet metal processes (deep drawing, bending, coining) for smaller parts with the finite element package QForm3D
