Industrial Forming Processes

GiD is currently used for data input and visualisation of results for a wide range of industrial forming processes such as sheet stamping, mould filling, solidification and cooling in casting, powder compaction, forging and rolling among others. GiD allows importing complex CAD geometries on DXF and IGES formats and generates the necessary input data for the simulation analysis in a simple and efficient manner.
GiD visualisation features can be customised to display the results of interest foreach problem. Current features include animations of the deformed geometry, stress/strain contour plots and line diagrams, forming limit diagrams, porosity contours, etc.

GiD is ideal to be used in a multi-user environment in universities, research centers and enterprises for development and applications of different numerical simulation programs.
