COPRA FEA RF 2025.2 - Release and Web-Seminar
The 2025.2 release introduces innovative features, enhanced functionalities, and improved simulation efficiency, offering users an unparalleled experience.
New Release Highlights
In this 7-minutes recording of our release Web-Seminar, our expert Lander Arrupe will show you the highlights of this release and take you through all the new and improved software features of COPRA® FEA RF 2025.2
New
Advanced Possibilities to Analyze Cross-Sectional Results (Professional Version):
Gain deeper insights into your simulation results with our new advanced cross-sectional analysis tools. Users can now explore any cross section in detail, overlaying geometric views with correlated post-processing results for precise evaluation. Measure and display distances and angles interactively within the cross section, highlight specific areas to analyze their corresponding result values, and seamlessly switch between different post-processing variables for comprehensive assessments. Whether verifying dimensional accuracy or analyzing stress and strain distributions, this tool empowers users with precise and efficient cross-sectional evaluations.
Restart Simulations with Confidence: Increment Selection Dialog:
Restarting simulations has never been easier. With the new “Select Restart Increment” dialog, users no longer need to memorize or manually identify restart increments. A pop-up list now displays all available increments for restarting a simulation, ensuring quick and error-free selection. Additionally, users can view which stations are in contact with the mesh at each increment, avoiding unintended restart points and guaranteeing a smooth continuation of their simulations.
Simulation Monitoring - Receive Critical Email Warnings (Professional Version):
Stay informed wherever you are. With the new simulation monitoring email warnings, professional version users can receive automatic notifications when critical issues arise in their simulations (based on a series of predefined parameters). This feature minimizes wasted time by alerting users if something goes wrong, enabling faster intervention, reducing downtime, and ensuring the efficient progress of projects.
Define End Station in Friction Simulations (Professional Version):
Simulation end station is now available for friction simulations. During the design-phase the user can start a simulation and define in which station the simulation should end. This allows the user to simulate the already existing designed stations while continuing the roll design. This tool can be used for a more efficient simultaneous roll design and finite element simulation resulting in considerable time savings in the overall process.
New Post-Processing Result in COPRA® FEA RF WireRolling:
A new post-processing result is available in the 2025.2 version of COPRA® FEA RF WireRolling. The new result calculates and displays the ration between the current yield stress and initial yield stress along the cross section, giving users deeper insights into work hardening effects during the forming process. By visualizing how material strength evolves, users can better assess material behavior and optimize process parameters for improved product quality and performance.
Improved
Improved Hole Meshing through Automatic Geometry Simplification (Professional Version):
Meshing complex holes can be challenging and often leads to quality issues. COPRA® FEA RF 2025.2 introduces automatic hole geometry simplification, improving mesh generation for holes with intricate shapes. This enhancement ensures better mesh quality, increases simulation robustness, and saves users valuable preparation time.
Reduced Storage Requirements for Solid-Shell Simulations:
Efficiently manage your data storage without compromising result accuracy. In COPRA® FEA RF 2025.2, simulations using solid-shell elements now produce smaller output files thanks to optimized result storage. This improvement reduces disk space requirements, accelerates data transfer, and enhances long-term project data management.
