Altair announced that Metal Forming Research Corporation (MFRC) has joined the Altair Partner Alliance (APA) with its forging software, Advisor for Metal Forming Process and Design Expert (AFDEX). Originally developed to analyze the forging process, the software capabilities have expanded to apply to extrusion, drawing, rolling, ring rolling, and other functionalities of production lines. "AFDEX has been developed with an emphasis on solution accuracy and user-friendliness," said Jangho Lee, managing director at MFRC. "Since the first commercial release in 1995, AFDEX has consistently replaced costly and time-consuming trial-and-error approaches to process design in metal forming with innovative CAE approaches. It will stay as one of the most reliable friends of Altair customers, who are especially confronted with technical obstacles in metal processing."
