What is DEFORM ?
What is DEFORM ?
The DEFORM is a manufacturing CAE software that can simulate all machining phenomena on a computer, such as metal material flow, load conditions on tools, deformation due to heat treatment, and prediction of chips during cutting.

Feature
01Various Functions
It is equipped with a variety of functions, from functions that allow even beginners of CAE software to easily perform analysis to functions that help those who use CAE software on a regular basis to improve their analysis work sophistication and efficiency.
-
Data Analysis
It is possible to predict results under new conditions without performing FEM calculations by machine learning past actual measurement data and analysis results.
-
Design of Experiments Module
By simply specifying the upper and lower limits of the set parameters and DEFORM automatically performs everything from parameter sampling to running multiple simulations and analyzing.
-
Optimization Module
The OPT module allows users to set arbitrary design variables, objective functions, and constraints to obtain optimal design values that satisfy the objective functions and constraints.
-
Strong Coupling (Large Scale)
Strong coupled analysis is supported, allowing simultaneous analysis of formability and die deflection.
02Extensive Support System
As a forging die manufacturer, we have been using DEFORM for 28 years and have developed technology and knowledge in plastic forming and analysis. Based on this technology, we not only provide simple functional introductions and operational explanations of CAE software, but also provide support for solving problems related to plastic forming.
-
Support Service
We accept questions about operations and error handling methods, as well as problems related to plastic processing by email or telephone.
-
Utilization Support Site
We publish manuals, tutorials, and FAQs that are useful when you have a problem on our user-only utilization support site.
-
Training
We hold DEFORM operation seminars in a school format and individual training.
-
User Group
MeetingWe regularly invite developers from the developer (SFTC) to introduce the latest functions, present usage examples by users, and hold Q&A sessions.
-
Online
Web SeminarSeminars on the operation and use of DEFORM are conducted online via ZOOM and TEAMS.
-
Advanced
Technical SupportIn order to make full use of DEFORM, we will correct the analysis data and conduct regular visits by specialized staff. ※Separate contract required
-
Regular Updates
The DEFORM is upgraded once a year, with new functions implemented and case studies presented.
-
User-Only Newsletter
We regularly distribute technical information and small tricks for using DEFORM in our e-mail newsletter.
03Extensive Track record of Implementation
DEFORM is used and supported by companies in a wide range of fields, from large companies to small and medium-sized companies, such as automobiles, aviation, electrical and electronic parts, and medical care.
It is also CAE software that is often introduced in public institutions such as universities and industrial technology research institutes.
We have the know-how to respond to any company, regardless of company size or industry, by making use of our track record of introduction to various companies.
