INTRODUCTION
Automatic Bearing Simulator is simulation software dedicated to bearing calculation
ABC has been developed by extrusion experts for automatic bearing calculation:
 Based on 2D drawing
 Easy to use
 Fast
 Connected to CAM software
ABC has been designed to be integrated into die design process
It enables designer to define bearing but also to optimize them and die shape
ABC has been designed to be integrated into die correction process
It enables die corrector to control bearing on existing die and to define modifications to
apply

BENEFITS
 Based on 2D drawing, ABC can be integrated into initial die design phase.
Die corrector can also control bearing length using the 2D drawing sent by die maker.
 Completely automatized, ABC can be used by correction shop and die designer
 Several calculation modes enable to perform bearing calculation for standard or
complex dies design.
 Based on 2D simulation (and simplified 3D simulation for complex dies) with optimized
algorithms result is obtained in few minutes.
 Bearing curves can be integrated into 3D CAD model for CAM (specific development
for your CAM software on demand).
 Coupled with 3DSimulator, bearings can be calculated for complex die shape

CAPABILITIES
User interface : main windows
Simple and automatized:
user defines only the type of calculation to
perform, ABC retrieves data and manages
the rest
 For flat die and porthole, one or multi-
cavities
 For standard or complex dies
 Prescribed or computed calculation
 Several options for prescribed mode
to consider, billet, die shape, bridges
effects.

CAPABILITIES
User interface : visualizer
 Visualize and analyze bearing curves
for each profile contour
 Modify /adapt bearing to your
manufacturing process
 Export bearing curves to use it for
CAM
To increase integration to CAM software,
specific development can be provided on
demand

MAIN FEATURES
FULL DIE ANALYTIC CALCULATION
This calculation mode is used for full
profile with standard design and feeder.
It can also be used to teach to new die
corrector or designer, bearing length rules
considering profile difference thicknesses
user just need to
1. Select dxf file including the profile
shape
2. Choose if he wants to consider the
reduction of pressure on the external
diameter of billet (to use for large
profile) and/or feeder effect.
3. Select analytical mode
4. Start the bearing calculation and
analyze the results

MAIN FEATURES
PORTHOLE DIE COMPUTED CALCULATION
This calculation mode is used for Portholes
with pocket (sink-in).
User just need to:
 Select dxf file of die design (including
profile, pocket and feeding holes, welding
chamber).
 Create simplified 3D model and Field
(made easily in 2 steps, in background)

MAIN FEATURES
COMPUTED CALCULATION ON REAL 3D MODEL
(COMPLEX CASE)
This mode is coupled with 3D Simulator
For complex die, a 3D flow simulation based on
real die shape is realized with 3DS (based on 3D
die model)
User exports to ABC data necessary to calculate
bearing in real extrusion conditions.
He starts the calculation and analyze the results
