ANTARES(TM)

ANTARES(TM) is a finite element-based 2D and 3D professional industrial material forming simulation system for all material flow processes governed by plastic flow, heat flow and phase transformations. it is a complete engineering analysis system for unit-forming processes that provides powerful capabilities for linear and highly non-linear stress analysis, compressible and incompressible material flow, including coupled heat flow, plastic, workpiece-tooling interactions and microstructure development. Important features include:

* Automatic evolution of complex die contact, friction effects, plastic heating, die chilling and heat loss to atmosphere.

* Automatic calculations for tool motions in hydraulic, mechanical, hammer and screw presses as well as for rolling and ring rolling mills.

* Support for highly complex, segmented tool movements.

* Automatic meshing and remeshing of the workpiece model.

* Workability guide for improved process design.

IRIX version compatibility: 5.3
