Mechanical Joining
In recent years, the three-dimensional (3D) simulation of mechanical joining applications has become practical using DEFORM. Advances in hardware speed and improvements in simulation technology now allow users to simulate 2D or 3D fastening solutions. Users can now model metal forming and mechanical joining within one simulation system.
A wide range of mechanical joining products can benefit from process simulation. Rivets (conventional, clinching, blind), screws (standard, self- piercing, self-threading), nuts, bolts and inserts are just some examples. Processes that 'join by forming' are especially well suited for modeling, since their foundation is based on metal forming principles.
