Description

Simufact Welding is adept at simulating various fusion and pressure welding techniques, taking into account the impact of process parameters like welding sequence and fixture design on the quality of the weld. The software features a new module called “Direct Energy Deposition,” which facilitates the simulation of additive manufacturing processes through metal energy deposition. Furthermore, Simufact Welding can model various stages such as fixture unloading, cooling, post-welding stress relief, and heat treatment. It also offers a range of built-in calculation methods, allowing users to adjust the speed and precision of their simulations according to their specific requirements.

Simufact Additive is specifically crafted for the simulation and analysis of metal powder bed fusion additive manufacturing. Utilizing macroscopic intrinsic strain technology, this software can rapidly deliver simulation outcomes and predict stress and deformation results. Additionally, it is capable of simulating processes such as fixture unloading, cooling, post-welding stress relief, and heat treatment, enhancing its utility in the additive manufacturing domain. is a comprehensive simulation tool tailored for metal forming processes, encompassing a wide range of techniques such as hot forging, cold forming, extrusion, sheet metal forming, rolling, ring rolling, spinning, and free forging.

Software solution for forming processes without expert knowledge:

Simufact Forming is a simulation tool for the practitioner in forming technology. Our claim is to consistently align the software to the practical needs of the user.

Often, expert knowledge is required to operate simulation environments in order to build and program complex models. This is not the case with Simufact Forming. The user does not have to deal with the gray physics of the forming process nor with simulation specific details. Simufact Forming is practical and can be learned quickly and easily. The forming practitioner can thus concentrate on the details of his forming processes instead of on the software.

Exactly the right forming process you need

Forming processes conducted significantly below the recrystallisation temperature of the material. These processes include typical upsetting and extrusion processes (e. g. for the production of bolts, nuts and rivets), but can also include coining, cold hobbing, thread rolling and  last but not least drawing processes (e. g. wire drawing, tube drawing and profile drawing).

Research Projects


What’s New in Simufact Forming 2024.2

Release Highlights

  • Python Scripting Extension for Resistance Spot Welding
We’ve expanded the Python functionalities in Simufact Forming to enable Design of Experiments (DoE) studies of resistance spot welds. Enjoy automatic measurement of different joining variants, advanced automated postprocessing, and the addition of critical electromagnetic properties definitions via Python scripting. With this handy tool, welding engineers, manufacturing firms, and scholars can fine-tune their welding parameters, reduce labor costs, and gain an in-depth understanding of spot welding properties while significantly increasing production speeds.
  • Resistance Spot Welding Upgrades
We’ve expanded the automated measurement capacity in resistance spot welding to up to 4 sheets and incorporated an electrode geometry database. Now, welding operators and engineers can enjoy greater versatility, efficient selection processes, improved visualization in the process tree, and more efficient operations.

  • Introduction of Hybrid Contact
Our new contact type, the “hybrid contact,” has been integrated for all Finite Element (FE) process types. This addition optimizes handling of contact between deformable bodies and self-contact events during simulations, providing a more accurate simulation experience for engineers and scientists working with FE simulations.
  • Enhanced Sheetmesher
 Keeping in mind uniformly dimensioned sheets that might result in inaccurate surface detection, we’ve updated the ‘Sheetmesher’ to include a user-selectable surfaces feature accessible prior to initial meshing. This addition allows users to manually select and save surfaces, offering immense precision and control over the processes, thereby optimizing meshing.

  • Refreshed QT Libraries
The Simufact Forming 2024.2 update comes with refreshed QT libraries, offering enhanced speed and performance improvements. Please note that the discontinuation of the fallback feature for 3D acceleration in graphics may cause startup or project-opening crashes via a Windows Remote Desktop connection. However, these issues can be fixed by enabling GPU rendering over Remote Desktop on Windows 10/11


Apart from these notable highlights, we’re also introducing a new Python function to create and modify input and material files before analysis, a Python ‘InitialConditions’ class for defining material phases, distinctive icons for electrode processes, and much more.

Our continuous efforts are directed towards innovation and user-friendly solutions. We believe the Simufact Forming 2024.2 Release caters to these principles and will be a substantial aid in your work process.
