Scripting for automatic preform generation based on die designs!

Hello David,

 

thank you for answering my question.

 

my problem statement is:

 

I am trying to design a preform based on my final die shape. I am creating a preform design in solid works and exporting the cad model into simufact hot forging module. Then I am performing my forging using hammer strike and looking into the final over all strain distribution. The main goal is to achieve a strain range from x-y through out the forged part. For that I have to change my preform shape based on material flow in the previous simulations. As this process takes multiple preforms to be generated and lot of time. I am trying to automate the preform generation process based on NURBS concept in solid-works. So now my question is does simufact interact with any modeling software and will perform simulations based on the newly created preforms by scripting it in the simufact python terminal? Or does Simufact has a similar concept where it will create a preform with strain distribution control parameters?

 

thanks,
