New performance and versatile features

New QForm 5.0 is a versatile simulation tool. It simulates nearly all bulk metal forming processes and some related processes like heating and heat treatment. A u nique user-friendly interface excludes the need for special training so that the program provides a quick return of investment.

1. New licensing policy: the program performance and capabilities can be tuned on demand individually for every user according to his needs.

2. No limits for complexity of simulation job – full 64-bit application running in parallel on up to 8 CPUs

3. Special module QForm-Extrusion provides unique performance for simulation of aluminum profiles of the most complicated shapes.

4. Module QForm-MS provides simulation of recrystallisation and grain growth during deformation and during the pauses between forming operations.

5. The program was extended to allow simulation of the following processes where the tools and/or the billet are intensively rotating:

• Ring rolling
• Railroad wheel rolling
• Cross-wedge rolling
• Transversal rolling and helical rolling of tubes

6. New extended facilities for setting special boundary conditions and/or mesh size to any area of the billet or tool surface at any stage of simulation process.

7. Simulation of induction heating .
