Abstract
In this paper, a FE simulation method for a forging system considering both the workpiece and die is introduced in detail. This method adopt s a multi-substructure technique, and reasonably, describes the coupli ng of the workpiece: and the die during the forging procedure. It not only simplifies the calculation, but also provides a convenient servic e for process CAD by means of FE simulation. It hits been used in a ge neral finite element program MAFAP(Mass Forming Analysis Program) for forging. The basic equation and some examples are given.
