Features: Deform-3D is the ideal tool for simulating 3D material flow. It is not only robust but also easy to use. The powerful simulation engine of Deform-3D can analyze the large deformation and thermal characteristics of multiple coupled objects during metal forming processes. The system integrates an automatic mesh regeneration generator that triggers itself when necessary, generating an optimized mesh system. Typical applications of Deform-3D include forging, extrusion, upsetting, rolling, open-die forging, bending, and other forming processes. This book is primarily divided into two parts: Part I introduces the basic knowledge of metal plastic forming, mainly including: metal plastic forming methods, metal plastic forming mechanics, finite element theory, etc. The second part introduces the use of the Deform-3D software to readers through examples in a step-by-step manner. The examples cover forming simulation, heat transfer simulation, thermal-mechanical coupling simulation, etc. Special attention is given to the hot rolling simulation, as its process flow setup is relatively complex, allowing readers to better understand the powerful capabilities of Deform-3D through this example. In some examples in this book, the author has summarized some tips through repeated experiments, hoping to assist readers. This book can serve as a self-study supplementary textbook for students majoring in material-related fields at junior colleges and universities, as well as a reference manual for material engineering personnel and technical engineers working in mold design, structural analysis, and forming processes.
