NAGSIM Simulation for Sheet Metal Parts

NAGSIM is a finite element software (FEA) program for the computer simulation of dimensional metal forming processes. It can simulate large plastic deformation of the part as well as the elastic deformation of the tools. It complements 'NAGFORM', a knowledge-based program to create alternative forming sequences to form a part. NAGSIM and NAGFORM together present a breakthrough in the development and optimization of forming sequence for a part.

NAGSIM.2D - NAGSIM.2D is a finite element software program for the computer simulation of two-dimensional metal forming processes.

NAGFORM/Sheet Integration with NAGSIM.2D
In NAGFORM/Sheet, simulation files for NAGSIM.2D can be automatically created for any selected part progression generated in Auto Design. To simulate, the user opens this file in NAGSIM.2D, meshes the parts and begins simulating. It takes only couple of minutes to go from NAGFORM’s design concept to NAGSIM.2D simulation.

NAGSIM.3D- is a general purpose finite element analysis (FEA) software program for the computer simulation of three dimensional metal forming processes. NAGSIM.3D can simulate large plastic deformation of the part. Its powerful solver uses a modified tetra element that allows automatic meshing of complex parts.
