QForm UK Extrusion was developed for simulation analysis of material flow during the extrusion process and for analysis of the stress-strain state of die set. The program features parametric representation of the bearing geometry and state-of-the-art automatic meshing algorithms. By keeping the bearing geometry as a parametric surface, QForm UK Extrusion is able to consider cases when die deformation causes local zones of very fine inclination of choke or relief that may vary by just a few angular minutes. Simulation results and actual production of our customers as well as laboratory tests have shown that, though small, such bearing angle variation may significantly influence the material flow patterns.

The software has been developed to be used by production engineers and die designers so it is not necessary to know anything about finite element method to run accurate simulations.

The tools for complex extrusion profiles can take a long time to design properly. The use of simulation software significantly speeds up the development time of extrusion tooling, eliminates trials in real press, significantly shorten the time to market, predicts the quality of the extruded product and by these means drastically reduce production cost.
