The architecture of manufacturing process

Nowadays, simulation as a progressive virtual application as well as a didactic method is playing a more and more important role in not only in the automation industry, where it saves time and costs development. Simulating the production processes can bring massive cost savings. Technically demanding applications such as metal forming, machining, heat treatment, casting and plastics injection molding require powerful material and geometric non-linear capabilities, adaptive meshing and a user environment that speaks the language of manufacturing and process development engineers.
