Software Thermosim allows to determine optimal quenching parameters(heating and cooling rates, curing time in the heating and cooling medium) for obtaining the desired hardness and phase structure of the workpiece.

Its main features are the following: • 3D simulation of temperature fields, stresses and deformation;; • Computer simulation of phase structure and hardness formation; • Consideration of stresses relaxation and the influence of phase structure on thermophysical properties in the computational process; • Prediction of crack formation.   The initial data for modeling process are the following: • three-dimensional geometry of the part; • thermophysical properties of the part material; • diagram of phase transformations of the part material; • settings of quenching mode.

Import of the following geometric data formats is supported: OBJ, STL, OUT, T9, mphtxt. It allows the product to be consistent with many modern CAD systems: Pro/ENGINEER, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, 3D Studio MAX, T-flex and others.

Properties of the part material are selected from an integrated database of materials, or specified by the user manually. For each material contained in the database, dependence of heat capacity, thermal conductivity and density on temperature and thermokinetic diagram of phase transformations are determined.
Parameters of quenching mode, taken into account during modeling, are the heating and cooling rates, which are computated on the basis of a user-defined medium of heating and cooling.
Software allows analyzing modeling results of generated fields: temperature, phase structure, hardness, stress, deformation. The results of color fields distribution are displayed in three dimensional view in dynamics, with the possibility of arbitrary cross-section of the part. The user has a possibility to build diagrams of temperature changes, phase structure, stress strain and deformation in time at arbitrary point of the part.

Advantages of the software:

• It is developed on the basis of modern scientific achievements in the field of mathematical modeling of heat transfer and phase transformation processes;

• It is a specialized solution taking into account technological process of quenching and customer’s production;
