Can any one advise what software package is best to simply deform part/all of a 3D model, without going through all the hassle of surface editing, etc.?
Background:
1- I have a nominal 3D model from which we cast a metallic part
2- during casting/solidification some distortion and shrinkage happens which is not uniform and depends on the sections thickness and shape
3- I'd like to negative the distortions and scale up the shrinkage on different sections on the nominal 3D model to generate a new 3D model for casting, so that the final as-cast part (which shrinks and deforms) gets closer to the nominal shape/dimensions.
Thanks Santosh, but to my knowledge in SolidWork you must scale up/down sections and then adjust the fillets and curves manually to avoid gaps in the surface. For deformations you cannot easily deform sections either, without sawing the surfaces and adjusting the curves, fillets and connections. Am I mistaken?
Ehsan , i will also suggest you to use solid work , reason is compare to NX and Catia it will be more easy to do all adjust in it .
Hello,
Process simulation is a very responsible task. It requires experimental experimentation to correctly input input data (material, temperature, speed, plastic behavior, trajectory, and other data). Often times, the input data from an experiment and the acquisition of adequate solutions are passed to specialized software products in which research methods are created. Such products are Ansys, Abacus, Catia. Specialized in plastic deformation are Qform, Deform, Simufact and others.

I also suggest SolidWorks. Nodes can be set by having longitudinal and lateral curves. Intersections will act as nodes and deforming can be done using the nodes. Having more number of curves will enhance the accuracy of the geometry. However, it will not be implicit.
Hello Ehsan Sabet s.W.M.A.I. Senevirathne Vivek Kumar Santosh Sadashiv Todkar
I'm new to the drawing process and I'm looking for the software Deform 3D to conduct some analysis in my research.
I would like to know where I can find the software to download for free?
Does someone have the installation file of Deform 3D to share with me?
Thanks in advance!

Darlan Vale Bayão I will suggest better to contact deform 3D sales team and share you queries .
mostly for research what company do it they ask for what is your research area and topic if they feel that it is interesting they will share temporary license to you .
or else use other package to do research work ansys student version is free with limited node .
