Besides reducing the costs of the product developmentSimulation can help
●To develop specific product properties● To analyze the product application● To train production and engineering personal● To explain production tasks to a customer during commondevelopment● To build up technological „know why“●…….

Conclusion
Most of the daily problems in design of a metal forming processcan be supported by today simulation technology.
Some special application need further development still.
Simulation is generally established as a design tool.
Hurry up to not miss the train .. But shoose your simulationpartner carefully …… he has to be expert in forging as well!
