Deform 3d Tutorial

To build your skills, we will perform a complete upsetting simulation—a basic metal forming operation that demonstrates all core software features. This tutorial assumes you have CAD models in STL format (the standard format for DEFORM 3D geometry import).

Set the relationship type to (where the rigid die is the master and the plastic workpiece is the slave). deform 3d tutorial
