Case Study: Setforge Engineering optimizes electro-upsetting simulation with MSC Software

Setforge Engineering - Customer Case Study

Setforge Engineering, a forging specialist within the Farinia Group, faced the challenge of simulating the complex, multiphysics electro-upsetting manufacturing process used to create long sectional parts. To optimize this process and move away from costly physical testing, they enlisted MSC Software for a solution.

MSC Software implemented its Patran and Marc solutions to develop a digital model and simulate the nonlinear electro-upsetting process. The initial simulation successfully matched real-world results, validating the approach. This has positioned Setforge Engineering to reduce its reliance on expensive physical tests, achieve a better cost/performance ratio, and optimize its forging processes for future projects.
