Non Linear FEA, Metals and Metal Forming

Non Linear FEA, Metals and Metal Forming

Utilizing Simufact metal simulation software, Innova has strong capabilities in both bulk forming (hot forging) and cold forming simulation of metals. Virtually every type of metal forming application can be simulated- accurately and quickly. Our metals database includes full TTT curves, grain size predication, and micro structure data.

A quick list of metal forming simulation capabilities:

Hot Forging

  • Bulk Forming
  • Upsetting
  • Cogging
  • Forward extrusions
  • Backward extrusion
  • Gear forming
  • Open die

Cold forming

  • Deep drawing
  • Stretch forming
  • Stamping/blanking
  • Multi-stage forming
  • Metal spinning
  • Cold heading
  • Bending
  • Rolling
  • Transverse rolling
  • Ring rolling

Welding/ Mechanical Joining

  • Spot welding
  • Arc welding
  • Line welding
  • Rivets
  • Bolts
  • Clinching
  • Machining simulation
