Abstract

In the study, the modeling strategies in connection with the quantitative prediction and improvement of product accuracy and quality are proposed. The analysis models are composed of process chain, geometry of die, interface conditions between die and workpiece, material parameters, forming velocity of machine, and so on. A 3D simulation platform, around the software MSC. Superforge, is built up for the applications in net-shape forming parts. Some results for bevel gear are shown to demonstrate the efficiency of the modeling system.
