AdvantEdge FEM 5.9

AdvantEdge FEM is a CAE software solution for the optimization of metal cutting, enabling users to analyze machining processes in 2D and 3D environments. This modeling software is used by those looking to improve part quality, increase material removal rates, extend tool life, and much more. Manufacturers across the globe find AdvantEdge FEM to be a valuable resource in the design of milling, grooving, boring, sawing, broaching, drilling, and turning processes. Use AdvantEdge FEM to decrease your need for trial and error testing — ultimately getting to market faster.

 

How It Works

  1. Define tool geometry or import from CAD program
  2. Select tool and workpiece materials
  3. Input cutting conditions
  4. Run simulations
  5. Compare simulation results for different cutting conditions or tool geometries to find optimal results
    • Analyze temperature and stress profiles to gage reductions in tool wear
    • Use chip formation to predict improved chip evacuation
    • Evaluate force plots to lower cutting forces and power consumption

How You Benefit

  • Increased material removal rates
  • Improved tool life
  • Predicted chip shape
  • Shortened product design cycles
  • Reduced trial and error testing
  • Integrated with Third Wave Systems’ Production Module
