QuantorForm Qform 9.09 Metal Forming Simulation Software

QForm VX is an engineering simulation and optimization software, developed by Quantorform Ltd. based in Russia and UK. The company is in business for more than 25 years and has clients in many industries inclusing Automobile, Aerospace, Defense, Energy, Education and Metal Forming.  The software is being used for various Metal Forming processes including Forging, Rolling and Extrusion and can handle both 2D and 3D metal forming problems with ease. It has the most convenient user interface in the market which includes pre- and post-processor in one window.

 

 

Extrusion

QForm Extrusion is the only extrusion simulation program that can calculate material flow fully coupled with temperature and deformation of the dies taking into considertation of the distortion of tool surface. QForm extrusion combined with QForm Extrusion die designer (QExDD) provides Die design integration seamlessly.

Features of QForm Extrusion:

• Simulates of any kind of profiles coupled with mechanical and thermal behaviour
• Fully automatic mesh generation and highly adaptive mesh in material flow domain and tool simulation domain
• Predicts of extrusion load, temperature, stress, strain, velocity distribution in any cross cut section
• Front end shape prediction
• Helps in optimizing Bearing height
• Longitudinal and transversal seams weld prediction, tracing of the points in the simulation
• Accurate calculation of entire billet heat gradient
• User defined subroutines calculation
• Report generation

Advantages of QForm Extrusion:

• Simulation of mechanically and thermally coupled problems of material flow and die deformation
• High simulation speed of the most complicated profiles thanks to a special Lagrange-Euler approach
• High adaptive tuning of the mesh helps very accurate results of the simulation
• An intuitive interface and easy input of initial data allow for a short learning curve
• Fully automated simulation process
• View and analysis of the results during simulation

Forging

QForm can simulate any forging process, including hot, warm and cold forgings, open and closed die forging etc., very easily with any type of equipment. The software accurately predicts metal flow in different dies and possible defects including non-filling of a die impression, laps, flow through defects etc.

Features of QForm Forging:

• Can simulate the temperature, deformation and stress distribution in the workpiece and tool
• Simulate grain flow in the forging which contributes to quality of the product
• Predict accurate forging force and energy consumption analysis which makes it possible to select the suitable forming equipment
• Optimize the process to avoid defects
• Optimize the billet size and reduce the material consumption and enhance the productivity without costly trials
• Predict and improve the tool life i.e. increasing the durability of the tool/die
• Report generation

Advantages of QForm Forging:

• Short time to develop new tool
• Verification of the final shape of the forged part and quality of die filling
• Prediction of forged part properties
• Identification of forging defects such as laps, flow-through defects, underfilled areas and excess material ahead of time
• Prediction of tool life by tool stress analysis and identification of the zones that have the highest load and die wear
• Prediction of load and energy of deformation to verify the correct equipment choice
• The opportunity to see how the die cavity is filled to solve flow problems and find ways to improve the technology
• Solving problems related to production, for example checking the influence of the material quality or the quality of the surface of the machined product
