Configure DFM Analysis
Material affects DFM thresholds (wall thickness, bend radius, etc.)
Custom rules are defined in your dashboard
Configure FEA Analysis
Select the material your part will be manufactured from
Specifies primary machining axis or load application direction for process analysis
Automatic mode assumes typical loading conditions
N
• 100 N =~22 lbs (small hand tool)
• 500 N =~110 lbs (person standing)
• 1000 N =~225 lbs (heavy machinery)
Select the process to analyze for thermal effects
Typical: 0.7-0.9 for GMAW/GTAW
Casting Solidification Analysis: Predicts shrinkage, porosity risk, and hot spots based on thermal gradients during solidification.
What This Predicts:
• Thermal distortion during cutting
• Dimensional accuracy loss from heat
• Optimal process parameters
Auto-detects parallel faces for jaw locations
Light (500N)Typical (2000N)Heavy (5000N)
What This Predicts:
• Stress concentration under clamps
• Part compression while clamped
• Springback after releasing clamps
• Dimensional error from springback
• Optimal clamping force recommendation
Typical Springback Tolerance:
• ±0.05mm: General machining tolerance
• ±0.02mm: Precision components
• ±0.01mm: Critical aerospace/medical
Material Removal Stress Analysis
Simulates progressive material removal from stock (extrusion/forging) to final part.
Predicts distortion from residual stress release as material is removed.
Ultimate accuracy for critical aerospace/forging parts.
Stock Dimensions (before machining)
ℹ️ Enter the dimensions of the raw stock material (extrusion, bar, plate, forging)
Quick estimate suitable for most cases. Use full simulation for critical parts with >50% material removal.
• Castings: Complex geometries with internal features
• Skip if: Simple operations (<30% removal) or stress-relieved stock
Phase 1 vs Phase 2:
• Phase 1 Enhanced: Quick estimate (used in Thermal tab)
• Phase 2 Sprint 3: Full stock-to-part simulation (this tab)
• When to upgrade: Critical parts, forgings, >50% removal

Injection Molding
General
Override material costs for your shop. Leave blank to use the system default price. Your prices reflect what you actually pay your supplier.
Define the standard bar, plate, and block sizes you keep in stock for each material. The estimator will pick the smallest piece that fits the part instead of assuming infinite stock.
