Initial data settings

The Initial data panel consists of tabs, each of which is reserved for a specific section for assigning and editing the initial data for simulation. Sequential filling process of data on each tab from top to bottom allows you to prepare one operation of the technological chain for simulation. For each operation type, only the tabs that need to be completed are displayed.

01_panel_initial_data_project

In the Project tab you can create and copy processes, operations chains and operations as well as switching between them. Also in the tab it is possible to change the process and operation name, change the operation type and problem type, indicate a comment to the operation.

02_panel_initial_data_op

The Operation tab is available in the mode of creating a new operation. Here, the name of the active operation, the type of operation, the type of task, and additional parameters are specified. In this tab, you can also upload a process template from the process templates database or copy data from a previous operation.

03_panel_initial_data_geometry

In the Geometry tab, there are all the geometric objects involved in the simulation. Here you can load geometry prepared in other applications, create simple parametric geometry, adjust symmetry planes and axes, and more.

04_panel_initial_data_wp_param

In the Workpiece parameters tab material, temperature and additional parameters of the workpieces are assigned.

05_panel_initial_data_t_param

In the Tool parameters tab the drive, material, temperature, friction conditions and heat transfer to the workpiece and other tool parameters are assigned.

06_panel_initial_data_stop

In the Stop conditions tab the solver finishing conditions are set.

07_panel_initial_data_bound

In the Boundary conditions tab advanced conditions are set for surface or volume nodes of the workpieces and tools.

08_panel_initial_data_blows

In the Blows tab the amount of blows per operation, cooling time in air and on the tool, and other parameters are set.

09_panel_initial_data_s_params

In the Simulation parameters tab simulation parameters , properties of finite element mesh and other simulation options are set.

10_panel_initial_data_track

In the Tracking points, line the tracing of flow lines and tracking points is carried out.

11_panel_initial_data_sub

In the Subroutines tab loading and executing of standard and user subroutines for simulation is carried out..

12_panel_initial_data_stat

In the Simulation state tab the information about iterations of the simulation is displayed, as well as the current value of the energy-power parameters and velocities of all tools during the simulation and other characteristics of the simulation are displayed

When selecting special operation types in the Operation tab or in the Project tab, the following advanced tabs appear:

13_panel_initial_data_heat

Appears when you select the operation type Cyclic tool heating.

14_panel_initial_data_rr

Appears when you select the operation type Ring rolling.

15_panel_initial_data_wr

Appears when you select the operation type Wheel rolling.

16_panel_initial_data_r

Appears when you select the operation type Longitudinal rolling.

17_panel_initial_data_cr

Appears when you select the operation type Cross rolling.

18_panel_initial_data_revr

Appears when you select the operation type Reverse rolling.

19_panel_initial_data_extr

Appears when you select the operation type Extrusion. See the documentation QForm UK Extrusion.

20_panel_initial_data_cool

Appears when you select the operation type HT of extruded profiles. See the documentation QForm UK Extrusion.

21_panel_initial_data_el

Appears when you select the Electric upsettingoperation type .

Clicking on the active tab allows you to hide the entire initial data panel window.
