3. • Simufact is a software used for simulating forming, welding mechanical joining and 3D printing process
• Simufact is engineered for process simulation.
• Sammy Consulting has experimented with Product simulation using Simufact.
• Simufact has solvers based on MSC Marc and MSC Dytran
• It’s a software which uses Finite Volume and Finite element solver
• Sammy Consulting has used its imagination to simulate automotive, industrial components
• Results were satisfactory and useful for static loading and analysis of stress and temperatures.

5. Simulation of Hook Failure
Sammy Consulting
The hook showed the elongation of the eye hole but the hook end gets elongated later

10. Around 9000 N force required to bend the
Lower arm. Strength increased by
Adding a stiffener in between the legs.
This type of intermittent load can be observed
When the car hits a kerb or the divider.
The lower arm normally yields without breaking.
MSC Apex can be used to change the positions of
Stiffner and see the difference in static and dynamic
Load.

11. Damaged planet gear

Sammy Consulting
A one degree misalignment of the sun gear damages the pinion
12. Sammy Consulting
It requires and archer around 25 N
To pull back a bow. We used simufac
to check how much force a short bow
Requires to be pulled back by 70 mm
And the force required was 26 N
This is the accuracy of SIMUFACT in
Predicting the forces required.
This is another example of
Using SIMUFACT for non
Forming application

19. Hydro locking of connecting rod due to rain water
Sammy Consulting
When ever the water enters the engine
The engine gets locked as the piston cannot
Compress the water hence the con rod bends
This phenomenon is called Hydro locking
20. Heat generation in lubricated and un lubricated piston rings
Sammy Consulting
22. 18 Tons force for bending
4 Tons for bending
Twisted 60 RCS Bar
60 Rcs Bar
Sammy Consulting
This simulation proves that twisted bars require 4 times bending force and twisted forgings can be a answer for light weighting
28. Hollow double gear forming
Sammy Consulting
A hollow tube can be forged from
Both ends and a natural piping can be
created at big ends to optimise
Raw material
29. Wrap Forging Technology by Sammy consulting Wrapping another part over a machined part
Sammy Consulting
A revolutionary concept where a machined component can be wrapped over
By another forging. Two different materials can be forged together to
Form one component.
30. Integrating a bull gear with a shaft for cost reduction
Sammy Consulting
A bull gear is permanently forged
With another shaft using a
Punch to push the material
Inside the key hole.
31. Progressive extrusion reduces force on the
Press.
SAMMY CONSULTING
Sammy Consulting
This is a combination of tools
To check the load on progressive extrusion
It requires half the force for forward extrusion
Bu using two tools instead of one

32. Sammy Consulting
A radical concept by forging two components using a split sleeve and making a permanent Bi metal forging
33. Simulation of Broaching process
Sammy Consulting
Broaching is a cutting process but the purpose was to check stress on component and tool temperature
35. Best quality shear happens when
1/ The diameter of bar is exactly equal to diameter of die
2/ When the bar is tightly clamped to avoid reaction
3/ When cut piece is calmped from bottom to avoid
Bending before shearing
Sammy Consulting

36. Twisting 4 square bars to make axles
Sammy Consulting
Four different rods were twisted together to check if Simufact can twist 4 bars together and it did
