QForm is a professional engineering software used for simulation, analysis and optimization of metal forming processes providing excellent reliability. It covers the essential needs in metal forming simulation for large and small forging companies as well as research and educational establishments. QForm provides simulation of an entire technological chain and a wide range of possibilities for process analysis.

QForm is intended for simulation and optimization of cold, warm and hot die forging, open die forging, rolling, profile extrusion and other metal forming processes. A variety of additional special modules such as microstructure prediction, heat treatment simulation, user subroutines assignment and other can be implemented in program.

Simulation of conecting rod forging

The software has the most user-friendly interface in the market, the fastest simulation time thanks to the most modern programming techniques and wide functionality. The very powerful and universal software core makes it possible to simulate any kind of metal forming processes. QForm developer has put all of his 25 years’ worth of experience in metal forming simulation into the development of the only software in the market that has a fully automatically and highly adaptive mesh generator.

The user assigns initial data, manages the simulation process and views simulation results from a single interface window. Many tools are available to allow the user to quickly define complex technological processes as well as to easily view the wealth of data available from the simulation.

Mechanically coupled simulation of assembly tool

QForm can simulate most metal forming processes and the variety of processes that can be simulated in QForm is continuously being extended thanks to the following features:

• coupled thermo-mechanical problem in Workpiece-Tool system

• simulation of complex tools

• any number of instruments and workpieces in one simulation model

• forming of multiple workpieces of different materials

• simulation of spring loaded tool and load holder

• implicit and explicit integration method

• user defined functions (UDF)

• Special boundary conditions for workpiece and tool

• Simulation of visco-plastic and elastic-plastic deformation

• Simulation of thermo-elastic-plastic problem

• Powerful capabilities for modifying simulation parameters and finite element mesh

• Simulation results import from popular casting simulation software (ProCast, MagmaSoft)

• Direct interface with JMatPro software for creation of rheological models of materials and creating TTT and CCT diagrams for heat treatment simulation

• Interfaces with software for microstructure and phase transformations simulation (MatiLDa)




QForm comes with a huge database of deformed materials, tool materials, drives and lubricants. There are models of mechanical, hydraulic and screw presses, hammers, rotational equipment and several friction models specified in the program.
