Subroutines in QForm UK are developed for adding advanced fields that are not available in the default simulation, or for specifying user's models of flow stress, friction, etc.

 

Subroutines can be divided into several categories.

According to who determines the simulation algorithm:

1.Standard (simulation algorithm implemented by the developer QForm UK and is not available to the user);

2. User's (the simulation algorithm is written by the user in Lua language).

According to the stage at which the simulation occurs:

1.Post-processor (calculated after the main simulation);

2.Processor (calculated time the main simulation).

According to where they are specified in the interfaceQForm UK:

1.In the tab Subroutines on Initial data panel;

2.In the tab Simulation parameters - Fields in the workpiece on Initial data panel;

3.In the corresponding database (Deformed materials, Lubricants)

According to what license feature required for use:

1.No additional license feature required (Standard subroutines without additional icon in the selection window):

2.Feature required Extended subroutines database (Standard subroutines with badge in the selection window);

3.Feature required User subroutines (all User subroutines).
