INTRODUCTION
Automatic Bearing Simulator is simulation software dedicated to bearing calculation
ABC has been developed by extrusion experts for automatic bearing calculation:
Based on 2D drawing
Easy to use
Fast
Connected to CAM software
ABC has been designed to be integrated into die design process
It enables designer to define bearing but also to optimize them and die shape
ABC has been designed to be integrated into die correction process
It enables die corrector to control bearing on existing die and to define modifications to apply

BENEFITS
Based on 2D drawing, ABC can be integrated into initial die design phase. Die corrector can also control bearing length using the 2D drawing sent by die maker.
Completely automatized, ABC can be used by correction shop and die designer
Several calculation modes enable to perform bearing calculation for standard or complex dies design.
Based on 2D simulation (and simplified 3D simulation for complex dies) with optimized algorithms result is obtained in few minutes.
Bearing curves can be integrated into 3D CAD model for CAM (specific development for your CAM software on demand).
Coupled with 3DSimulator, bearings can be calculated for complex die shape

CAPABILITIES
User interface : main windows
Simple and automatized: user defines only the type of calculation to perform, ABC retrieves data and manages the rest
For flat die and porthole, one or multi-cavities
For standard or complex dies
Prescribed or computed calculation
Several options for prescribed mode to consider, billet, die shape, bridges effects.

CAPABILITIES
User interface : visualizer
Visualize and analyze bearing curves for each profile contour
Modify /adapt bearing to your manufacturing process
Export bearing curves to use it for CAM
To increase integration to CAM software, specific development can be provided on demand

MAIN FEATURES
FULL DIE ANALYTIC CALCULATION
This calculation mode is used for full profile with standard design and feeder.
It can also be used to teach to new die corrector or designer, bearing length rules considering profile difference thicknesses
user just need to
1. Select dxf file including the profile shape
2. Choose if he wants to consider the reduction of pressure on the external diameter of billet (to use for large profile) and/or feeder effect.
3. Select analytical mode
4. Start the bearing calculation and analyze the results

MAIN FEATURES
PORTHOLE ANALYTIC CALCULATION
This calculation mode is used for standard porthole design.
User just need to
1. Select dxf file including the profile shape and feeding holes.
2. Choose if he want to consider the reduction of pressure on the external diameter of billet (to use for large profile),
3. Select analytical mode
4. Start the bearing calculation and analyze the results

MAIN FEATURES
FULL DIE COMPUTED CALCULATION
This calculation mode is used for full dies with pocket (sink-in) or/and special feeder (specific shape).
User just need to:
Select dxf file including the profile, pocket and feeder shape.
Create simplified 3D model and mesh (automatic)
Prepare data (field map)
Start the bearing calculation and analyze the results

MAIN FEATURES
PORTHOLE DIE COMPUTED CALCULATION
This calculation mode is used for Portholes with pocket (sink-in).
User just need to:
Select dxf file of die design (including profile, pocket and feeding holes, welding chamber).
Create simplified 3D model and Field (made easily in 2 steps, in background)
Start the calculation and analyze the results

MAIN FEATURES
COMPUTED CALCULATION ON REAL 3D MODEL (COMPLEX CASE)
This mode is coupled with 3D Simulator
For complex die, a 3D flow simulation based on real die shape is realized with 3DS (based on 3D die model)
User exports to ABC data necessary to calculate bearing in real extrusion conditions.
He starts the calculation and analyze the results
