DEFORM
DEFORM is an engineering software that enables designers to analyze metal forming, heat treatment, machining and mechanical joining processes on the computer rather than the shop floor using trial and error. Process simulation using DEFORM has been instrumental in cost, quality and delivery improvements at leading companies for two decades. Today's competitive pressures require companies to take advantage of every tool at their disposal. DEFORM has proven itself to be extremely effective in a wide range of research and industrial applications. Scientific Forming Technologies Corporation (SFTC) develops and supports the DEFORM System. SFTC is available for consulting, training, contract simulation and software development on a project basis.
DEFORM-3D
DEFORM-3D is a powerful process simulation system designed to analyze the three-dimensional (3D) flow of complex metal forming processes. DEFORM-3D is a practical and efficient tool to predict the material flow in industrial forming operations without the cost and delay of shop trials. Typical applications include:
- closed die forging
- open die forging
- machining
- rolling
- extrusion
- heading
- drawing
- cogging
- compaction
- upsetting
DEFORM-3D is an 'open system' that provides incredible flexibility to designers and analysts working on a range of applications, development and research. DEFORM-3D supports user routines and user defined variables. Complex multiple deforming body capability with arbitrary contact allows users to simulate mechanical joining and coupled die stress analysis.
Based on the finite element method, DEFORM has proven to be accurate and robust in industrial application for more than two decades. The simulation engine is capable of predicting large deformation material flow and thermal behavior with astonishing precision. DEFORM is the most widely used simulation program in the world by leading research institutes and manufacturers. See our product information for additional details.
DEFORM-F3
DEFORM-F3 is an-easy-use process simulation system designed to analyze the three-dimensional (3D) flow of complex metal forming processes. DEFORM-F3 is a practical and efficient tool for designers and engineers to predict the material flow in cold forming and hot forging operations without the cost and delay of shop trials.
DEFORM-F3 is a hybrid system that blends the ease-of-use of a wizard style with the flexibility of an open system. DEFORM-F3 is widely used by small and mid-sized companies where production engineers and designers run simulation in addition to a wide range of other duties.

DEFORM-F2
DEFORM-F2 is a two-dimensional process simulation system to simulate a wide range of forging, cold forming, extrusion and drawing processes. DEFORM-F2 uses the FEM Engine, mesh generator and other system functions from DEFORM-2D in an extremely easy-to-use GUI. Capabilities include forming, heat transfer and die stress analysis. DEFORM-F2 is the ideal tool for small to mid-sized companies with axisymmetric parts and processes starting in simulation . In spite of being easy to use, there is a growth path into 3D or very sophisticated analysis without changing systems. The training and technical support provided by SFTC are simply unmatched
DEFORM-HT
DEFORM-HT is a powerful stand-alone finite element modeling system for simulating heat treatment processes. The system predicts thermal, mechanical and metallurgical responses of parts during heat treatment. Heat treat distortion, quench cracking and residual stresses can be predicted. The system can also provide information on phase transformation and phase volume fraction. A variety of materials, ranging from carbon steel and aluminum to titanium and nickel-based alloys, can be modeled. Typical heat treatment processes include: - normalizing - austenizing - carburizing - solution treatments - quenching - tempering - aging - stress relieving The Microstructure Module expands the capabilities of DEFORM-2D and DEFORM-3D to include a wide range of microstructure and mechanical property information. Two approaches for modeling microstructure evolution during thermo-mechanical processing are implemented in DEFORM.
