In this paper, three-dimensional finite element analysis of screw rolling process of a long shaft bolt is conducted by using a rigid-plastic finite element method based metal forming simulator AFDEX 3D. A whole sequence of cold forming processes of a long shaft bolt composed of forging and screw rolling processes is simulated to reveal the mechanism of screw formation. A mesh density control function is applied near the major plastic deformation region to achieve computational efficiency.

We carry out non-steady state finite element simulation of a porthole extrusion process for manufacturing a radiation pipe under isothermal assumption. It is assumed that welding takes place at the moment that the material contacts the plane of symmetry. Welding phenomena are revealed by observing the contacting mechanism of the material passed through the portholes. It is emphasized that mesh density control and intelligent remeshing during welding process govern the solution accuracy and the program applicability. AFDEX 3D is employed.

We conduct intelligent simulation of three-dimensional forging processes in this paper. A new remeshing technique is employed for this purpose. Not only the state variables including strain and strain-rate but also the geometrical features including die-material contact conditions and the characteristic lines or surfaces are taken into account during remeshing. The presented approach is applied to the Baden-Baden benchmark test example and its influence on the simulated results is discussed particularly in terms of the deformed shape with emphasis on the characteristic line.
