Simufact is a leading FEA based simulation solution for metal forming, welding and heat treatment. Simufact provides your manufacturing team with the ability to simulate the entire manufacturing process chain to optimize manufacturing processes, reduce costs and time-to-market, while improving product quality. With Simufact, your team can simulate operations starting from blanking, shearing of wires or billets, to multi-stage forming, punching, trimming, and heat treatment followed by joining operations, welding and structural analysis.
Simufact Additive is a powerful and scalable software solution for the simulation of metal-based additive manufacturing processes and helps shorten time to market by replacing time-consuming tests and set-ups with virtual predictions.
Simufact Welding simulates complex welding processes that may involve multiple welding sequences and predicts post-welding distortion of components and considers phase transformations which occur during the process. With Simufact Welding, your manufacturing team quickly gains insight into properties of the weld seam and welding defects such as hot cracks, and cost effectively develops an optimal process prior to implementation. Simufact Welding provides accurate simulations for the following methods of joining:
Simufact Welding simulations predict welding distortion while the material models calculate phase proportions, material conditions, resulting local material properties, and other effects such as transformation-induced plasticity and transformation strains thus reducing machining and straightening costs.
