Third Wave Systems has released AdvantEdge FEM Version 5.7 predictive, material physics-based software. The software provides detailed information about heat flow, temperatures, stresses and forces for machining processes to optimize metalcutting and cutting tool design, the company reports. The software also provides users with data not available from trial-and-error tests. A new elliptical motion feature is for modeling processes, such as elliptical vibration-assisted machining.
