New software, better functionality

The Hamburg-based software company Simufact Engineering now offers new versions of its simulation software Simufact.forming and Simufact.welding. Providing more functionality for a broader scope of application, the new software versions are employed for the design and optimisation of manufacturing techniques in metal processing. With the new releases, companies aiming to link various production processes (from semi-finished material to finished component) have come closer to their goal of an integrated, cross-process approach in the simulation of entire process chains. Simufact simulation solutions cover all essential production processes from forging to cold massive forming, rolling, sheet metal forming, mechanical joining, heat treatment, and welding. Interfaces also allow customers a fast and reliable integration of software in their CAD/CAE environments.
