: If your imported STL has gaps or "bad geometry," use the built-in geometry checking and correction features to ensure a legal surface for meshing. 3. Meshing the Workpiece

: Use the "Geometry" tab to import CAD files (often in .STL format). If you don't have a CAD file, you can create basic shapes like cylinders using the "Geo Primitive" tool.

: Define the simulation title and mode (e.g., Deformation ). This is where you also enable features like Heat Transfer if your process involves temperature changes. 2. Defining Objects and Geometry

The first step in any DEFORM 3D simulation is the pre-processing phase, where you define the environment and the objects involved.

: In the object tree, add a new object and set its type (e.g., Plastic for the workpiece, Rigid for tools).

: Open the DEFORM-3D pre-processor and select "New Problem" . Choose your project directory and assign a name, such as "Stub_Shaft" or "Forging_Test".
