4 interactive modules · ~58 min total
Interactive Modules
Choose a forming-based application to open local simulations
Clinching Simulator
Interactive parameter-to-video exploration for die depth, clearance, inclination, and other clinching controls
Tube Fit Joining Simulator
Adjust radial interference, wall thickness, expansion ratio, and material yield strength to estimate pull-out force and joint quality for forming-based tube connections
SPR Simulator
Tune rivet length, die depth, die cavity diameter, rivet yield strength, and leg thickness to see their effect on interlock, bottom thickness, and joining force in self-piercing riveted joints
Learning Focus
Key skills developed by the joining-by-forming interactive content
