After being analyzed and modeled, the results of the simulations are directly introduced into the CAD system, so that the CAD is capable of helping tube manufacturers notonly arrange their drawing procedure system easily and efficiently, but also optimize their drawing processes in several aspects, such as drawing force, die geometry, plug geometry, distribution of reduction, accuracy of tube dimension, consumption of deforming work, quality of tube, and so on. The optimized cold drawing procedures are able to lower production cost by 1 %—5 % in average.展开更多
