Forming simulations with custom material models

DEFORM Premier 2025 deformation processing simulation software

Scientific Forming Technologies Corporation, Columbus, OH, USA

Note

Finite element modeling is a method for simulating the deformation of materials under various loading conditions, used for optimizing forming processes and predicting material behavior.

Modules:

• DEFORM-3D: A general-purpose 3D finite element solver for simulating a wide range of forming processes, including forging, extrusion, and sheet metal forming.
• DEFORM-2D: A 2D finite element solver for simulating axisymmetric forming processes, such as deep drawing and tube hydroforming.
