In this paper, we simulate a rotor pole cold forging process by a forging simulator with both tetrahedral and hexahedral element capabilities and compare the predictions obtained by the two approaches with the experiments. Hexahedral element capability runs manually while tetrahedral element capability runs automatically with help of an intelligent remeshing technique. It is shown that the tetrahedral element capability can give quite accurate solution if assisted by the intelligent remeshing technique even though the tetrahedral element itself is not theoretically and numerically clear.
