I. SIMUFACT - SIMULATION SOFTWARE

In the field of simulation, Hexagon is currently providing Simufact software. Simufact enables engineers and manufacturers to optimize their processes, reduce development time, and enhance product quality.

Vinnotek is currently the official representative of Hexagon in Vietnam. We distribute Simufact software – the world's leading simulation software.

Simufact software solutions allow for the simulation of a range of forming processes, joining processes, as well as metal 3D printing processes to optimize manufacturing processes, reduce costs and research time, and improve product quality.

The Simufact software solutions are divided into three product lines developed for specific individual processes: Simufact Forming, Simufact Welding, and Simufact Additive.

SIMUFACT FORMING

Simufact Forming is a software solution designed to simulate metal manufacturing processes. The software covers all essential areas of forming technology: forging, cold forming, sheet metal forming, all major additive processes, and mechanical joining. Simufact Forming supports microstructure simulation, calculates die loads, material flow, and predicts material properties in conventional and incremental heat treatment processes. Furthermore, the thermal joining methods of pressure welding are also supported

We are committed to adjusting and developing software consistently to meet the real needs of users. Typically, operators need specialized knowledge to operate simulation software to build and program complex models. However, with Simufact Forming, these issues are no longer obstacles for users. Simufact Forming's user interface is very user-friendly, easy to learn and use. Therefore, even beginners can focus on the product simulation process rather than spending too much time getting acquainted with the software.

SIMUFACT WELDING

Simufact Welding is used to simulate and optimize various thermal welding processes, including arc welding, laser beam welding, electron beam welding, brazing, resistance spot welding, and the additive manufacturing process laser deposition welding (LMD or DED). The software also allows for the modeling of heat treatment processes, various cooling variants, as well as stress relieving and mechanical loads on welded structures.

One of the biggest challenges in welding is thermal deformation or residual stress of the entire assembly after welding and unclamping is not optimized. This can make subsequent welding processes more difficult due to the unstable shape of the assembly. With Simufact Welding, users can optimize the welding process and parameters to achieve the desired product quality.

Providing the welding process you need

Processes such as arc welding, laser beam welding, electron beam welding, brazing, resistance spot welding, as well as the additive manufacturing process laser deposition welding (LMD or DED), can be modeled in Simufact Welding. In addition, Simufact Welding can be used to model heat treatment processes, various cooling variations, stress relief, and mechanical loads of welded structures.

Simufact Welding brings:

▪️Design and optimize your welding process:

  ▫️ Determine the optimal weld sequence and parameters, as well as clamping and unclamping concepts, to minimize thermal distortions and residual stresses, and ensure a stable welding process.

  ▫️ Identify and eliminate potential welding defects, such as hot cracks.

  ▫️ Investigate material behavior during welding, such as phase change.

▪️Simplicity – No expert knowledge required as the software solution is user-friendly, intuitive, and process-oriented.

ADVANTAGES OF APEX GD

Reduce time significantly 

Thanks to intelligent manufacturing design, Apex GD leverages high levels of automation and fast speeds to reduce design optimization time. Therefore, design time is fast, cost-effective and consistent between software in the same ecosystem. 

Optimization based on stress constraints 

Stress is often the most important layout criterion for part design. MSC's Apex Generative Design makes it possible to optimize in a stress-centric manner. This approach allows for truly biomorphic designs, with a very uniform stress distribution to ensure high part reliability. 

Automatic transition to CAD 

Design optimization software typically requires the use of additional forwarding software to be able to import the commonly used data types of the design file. MSC Apex Generative Design solves this problem by consolidating data in a single environment and automatically translating designs for optimal CAD/CAM alignment. 

Smart smoothing 

Efficient transitions to smooth surfaces are performed automatically using a smart algorithm. The finished design product will have a defect-free surface, ensuring quality for each part.
