Description

Cold forming tools experience significant mechanical and tribological stresses throughout their operational lifespan, which in some instances can result in premature damage to the tools. Given that these tools constitute a substantial portion of the manufacturing costs for components, it is crucial to proactively address potential issues during the design phase. The COLDFORM® software offers the ability to assess the mechanical strength of dies, thereby enhancing their longevity. It calculates stress distribution within the die, as well as monitoring deformations, wear, temperature variations, and any damage that may occur throughout the process. Furthermore, COLDFORM® can perform quick analyses by applying the stresses derived from the forming process to the tools. Additionally, the software supports coupled part/tool simulations, yielding highly accurate outcomes. With features focused on pre-stressed dies, it allows for precise assessment of the required pre-stressing for the interference fit of the tools. This capability ultimately aids manufacturers in optimizing tool performance and reducing costs associated with tool replacements.

Description

Every project presents its own set of challenges, yet conducting geotechnical analysis can be straightforward with the right tools. PLAXIS 2D streamlines the process by offering rapid computational capabilities. It enables sophisticated finite element or limit equilibrium analysis concerning soil and rock deformation and stability, including aspects like soil-structure interaction, groundwater, and thermal dynamics. As an exceptionally powerful and intuitive finite-element (FE) software, PLAXIS 2D specializes in 2D analyses relevant to geotechnical engineering and rock mechanics. Used globally by leading engineering firms and academic institutions, PLAXIS is a staple in the civil and geotechnical sectors. The software proves to be versatile, accommodating various applications such as excavations, embankments, foundations, tunneling, mining, oil and gas projects, and reservoir geomechanics. Notably, PLAXIS 2D encompasses all necessary features for conducting deformation and safety assessments for soil and rock, without delving into complex factors like creep, steady-state groundwater, thermal flow, consolidation, or any time-dependent phenomena. This makes it an invaluable resource for engineers focused on efficiency and accuracy in their analyses.
