AdvantEdge™ FEM 5.2
AdvantEdge™ FEM is a materials-based solution for the optimization of metal machining. This modeling and simulation software provides validated, detailed information about heat flow, temperatures, stresses, tool life, and surface characteristics for machining processes. Using AdvantEdge FEM technology, users are able to improve material removal rates, part quality, and tool performance; predict forces, tool temperature and wear, stresses, and strains; and decrease the need for physical testing.
