The Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) method is used to perform a 3D simulation of the hot metal forming process. The material is heated to 800 degrees Celsius and punch compresses the workpiece at 10 m/s forcing it to flow between the punch and die therefore mold to the desirable shape.

This was the study of my master's degree. For more details, you can find my thesis here:
