Worked Example

Verified calculation

Given:

  • Forging Geometry Factor = 1
  • Material Flow Stress = 250000000
  • Projected Area of Forged Part = 0.002

Expected Result:

  • Required Press Force = 500000

Engineering Interpretation:

Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Required Press Force = 500000 N.

The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.
