data M Software and Engineering at TUBE India 2005 in Hyderabad /India - February 18 - 20, 2005 . Hall A-2, Booth D06 CONTENT: New versions of the roll tool design- and engineering software COPRA® RF and COPRA® FEA RF as well as a new model of its optical roll tool inspection system COPRA® RollScanner. 1. COPRA® Roll Form Design- and Engineering Software; Simulation of the Tube Making Process 2. data M Software’s high-end Finite Element Analysis Software “COPRA® FEA RF” 3. COPRA® RollScanner 4. data M goes to India: data M Software India Pvt.Ltd.

1. COPRA® Roll Form Design- and Engineering Soft-ware; Simulation of Tube Making Process

The new version of COPRA® Roll Form software will be shown at TUBE India 2005.
Some of the new features are a so-called “roll-browser” and project manager allowing for a comfortable roll tool manage-ment during the design.
The strain analysis software “COPRA® DTM” (COPRA® Deformation Technology Module) will be shown in a new version which is able to calculate now even longitudinal plastic strain values in the material caused by the forming process. This gives the user essential hints about possible overworking of the coil material in order to achieve a proper welding and tube quality (picture 1).

2. data M Software’s high-end Finite Element Analy-sis Software “COPRA® FEA RF”

data M Software’s high-end Finite Element Analysis Software “COPRA® FEA RF” which was introduced first to the tube industry at Tube Düsseldorf 2000 has been extended since then continuously. The non-linear elasto plastic calculation (based on MSC.MARC), the automatically generated model, a process-wizard driven easy definition of process parameters and reduced calculation time are making this solution to a virtual try-out and analysis tool.
At TUBE India 2005 data M will be showing COPRA® FEA RF with an integrated simulation of the welding process as well – in addition to the analysis of the forming process before and after the welding unit. COPRA® FEA RF actually allows for both – the verification of roll tool design as well as the analysis of tube making and roll forming processes (picture 2).

3. COPRA® RollScanner

data M’s optical roll inspection machine COPRA® RollScanner is available in a new and extended version having three computerised axes (instead of two) for an automatic focussing of every roll-contour.
The COPRA® RollScanner is working like a fully automatic profile projector and automatically generates accurate CAD drawings from existing roll tooling (or profile cross sections) - for archiving purposes or quality control. The data files can also be used in order to analyse and troubleshoot existing forming processes. In this case the scanned data are imported into data M’s finite element analysis software COPRA® FEA RF where an analysis of the forming and welding process is being done (picture 3).
