INC Solver is a nonlinear transient dynamic finite element program using explicit scheme to solve equations of motion, commonly referenced as “incremental code” or “explicit code”.

INC Solver is developed for the single purpose of simulating sheet metal forming processes. Belytschko-Tsay shell element is used for the calculation of sheet metal deformation. Penalty method is applied for the simulation of contact between die face and sheet metal in the forming processes. Nonlinear material property supports Hill’s and Barlat’s yielding criteria. Both Fusion & Fission adaptivity are applied to adjust the blank mesh density in every time step during the simulation process.

INC Solver is designed to tolerate non-connected mesh generated from non-conforming CAD surfaces, saving a great amount of time and effort usually spent on model preparation.

INC Solver uses the SMP (Shared Memory Processing) computing scheme to take full advantage of multiple-CPU, multiple-core and multiple-threat configurations of latest computing platforms in Windows environment.
