Free webinar. Ring, wheel, tube and skew rolling. Advanced rolling processes simulation.

This webinar presents the advanced simulation capabilities of QForm for ring rolling, wheel rolling, tube rolling, and skew rolling processes. The session focuses on the numerical simulation of material flow, stress–strain state, and thermal behavior in complex three-dimensional rolling operations.

Particular attention is given to deformation mechanics, contact conditions, roll kinematics, and the prediction of rolling load, torque, and tool stresses. Participants will learn how QForm enables accurate analysis of metal flow, dimensional evolution, wall thickness variation, and defect formation, including laps and underfilling.

Free webinar. Elimination of routine work: how API helps save engineering resources.

This webinar focuses on the practical use of API tools in QForm UK to automate routine engineering tasks and improve workflow efficiency.

Learning basic programming tools is easier than it may seem, and the benefits are significant, from saving engineers’ time to creating customized solutions for specific tasks. By using the QForm API, repetitive operations can be automated, reducing manual work and lowering the risk of errors.

During the session, we will show how API tools can automate model preparation, simulation setup, batch calculations, result processing, and report generation. You will see practical examples of how routine actions can be replaced with simple scripts and automated workflows.

20-21 April 2026
QForm UK User Meeting in Germany

Our now traditional user meeting will take place in April in Germany under Dr.-Ing. H.-W. Raedt's guidance.

16 April 2026
Free webinar. Sheet metal forming efficient simulation and optimization.

This webinar is dedicated to advanced numerical simulation of sheet metal forming processes using QForm. If you are looking for reliable and efficient tools to simulate sheet metal forming operations, this session will provide a comprehensive overview of QForm’s capabilities in this field. We will demonstrate how the Finite Element Method (FEM) has been successfully adapted and implemented in QForm UK to accurately model sheet forming technologies. Particular attention will be given to the simulation of stamping, deep drawing, bending, trimming, and other sheet forming operations. Participants will learn how QForm enables accurate prediction of material flow, thinning and thickening, strain distribution, springback, forming load, and potential defects such as wrinkling and cracking.

15 April 2026
Free webinar. Automatic generation of accurate and expressive technical reports.

This webinar focuses on transforming simulation results into clear, structured, and visually compelling technical documentation within the QForm environment. Reports are essential for a proper understanding and effective communication of simulation results. It is not enough to interpret data correctly, the results should also be presented in a convenient, structured, and visually attractive format for team discussions, management presentations, and collaboration with partners or customers.

14 - 17 April 2026
