abstract = "Forging, as a type of technological process based on metal forming, is widely used in the modern
manufacturing industry. This paper is focused on the utilization of CAE software tools for simulating the forging process of an aluminium piston. The starting point for designing the technological process was a technical drawing of the machined piston. After determining forging tolerances, parting lines, forging angles, radii, and flash land, the forging part and forging dies were designed. The forging process in this particular case encompasses three metal-forming operations: upsetting, final forging, and trimming of the flash. The proposed technological solution was verified using the CAE software tool - QForm through various simulations of material behaviour during the forging process. The analysis included material flow, potential defects, as well as temperature and stress within the workpiece. After making a few adjustments to the forging design and parameters, the optimal solution was presented. Temperature and stress distributions in the best-case scenario were within an acceptable range, while the risk of surface defects and material flow abnormalities was very low. This paper demonstrates that the use of software tools for numerical simulations during the design of the forging technological process provides significant benefits, such as reducing production costs, improving product quality, minimizing scrap, saving time in product development, and reducing the number of required test samples.",
