virtua RFW R1.025 released!

The tool for rotary friction welding simulation virtua RFW is continuously improving and reached the release R1.025. We thank our customers for the numerous feedback and the help to let us to further enhance this tool. Some of the most important features of this update are:

• Optimized self-contact algorithm which allows for zero-distance self contact of flash with gliding boundary conditions (no welding)

• Optimization of simulation storage data format using single precision values for ultra long simulation with significant output requirements

• Several optimizations and new features in output and postprocessing capabilites.
