The ASU/V-Struct, which serves as the basis for the Deformation Analysis Edition, is a high-performance thermal-elasto-plastic structural analysis program developed based on V-Struct through the VCAD system research program at the RIKEN Institute. It features a thermal stress-thermal conduction coupled analysis solver that takes into account contact between deformable bodies, contact heat transfer, and pressure application to processed materials. This allows for the simulation of deformation and residual stress in molded products due to heat in processes such as hot pressing, casting solidification, and resin injection molding cooling, where temperature changes need to be considered. It is also applicable to other scenarios such as mold deflection, clamping, vacuum forming, and adhesion analysis. Applicability: To address various challenges in manufacturing processes, we have generously incorporated our CAE element technologies, including contact analysis (for rigid and deformable bodies), heat transfer, contact heat transfer, and surface pressure boundaries! Usability: A dedicated pre-post GUI is provided. Even those unfamiliar with analysis can use it easily without resistance. It includes a built-in mesher, allowing analysis to start directly from design CAD data.
