Deform‑3D Basic Tutorial – Simple Upsetting (Compression) of a Cylinder

1. Problem setup

• Open Deform‑3D pre‑processor.
• Click New Problem → enter a name (e.g., Upsetting_tutorial).
• Select Forming as the process type.
• Choose Deformation as the simulation type.

1. Select a single vertex by right-clicking on it.
2. Move the vertex to a new position by pressing G (or Move in the toolbar).
3. Adjust the vertex position to deform the cube.

Running the Solver: Use the DEFORM-3D Solver to begin the calculation. You can monitor the "Message File" in real-time to check for convergence issues. 4. Post-Processing: Analyzing Results

Material Flow: Use "Point Tracking" or "Flownet" to see how specific internal sections of the metal move during the process. deform 3d tutorial

Mechanical Joining: Analyzing coupled die stress and arbitrary contact during assembly processes. Troubleshooting Common Issues Open Deform‑3D pre‑processor

Geometry Repair: If your imported STL has gaps or "bad geometry," use the built-in geometry checking and correction features to ensure a legal surface for meshing. 3. Meshing the Workpiece Select a single vertex by right-clicking on it

1. Open Blender and create a new project.
2. Go to Mesh > Cube to create a 3D cube.

1. Click "Mesh" tab for the Workpiece (Object 1).
2. Absolute vs. Relative:

   Deform 3D offers several advanced deformation techniques, including:
