Multi-body plastic deformation problems are hot issues in metal forming simulation. AFDEX started to be applied for several multi-body forming processes since last year. AFDEX V19 has experienced more complicated and actual processes than before. Fig. shows elastoplastic FE predictions of a forming process for assembling three parts. The comparison between 2D results and 3D ones shows good similarity.
