DEFORM

Multiphysics Process Modeling

DEFORM is specifically designed to simulate cold, warm and hot manufacturing operations for preform optimisation, tooling and product development, process troubleshooting and die stress analysis. Typical applications include forming, heat treatment and machining.

Developed by SFTC, automatic remeshing capabilities and robust non-linear solvers enable extremely large deformation material flow and coupled thermal behaviour to be simulated efficiently and accurately – often beyond the capabilities of general purpose FEA codes.

DEFORM is used by major aerospace, automotive, industrial equipment, bio-medical and nuclear companies, together with their supply chains and leading research institutions.
