Hi. I have a vew questions. 

1) Using HX Solver, is it possible to simulate the forging process with your own CAD geometry of tools and workpiece material imported into the HYPERWORKS program? On the site https://2021.help.altair.com/2021/hwdesktop/mfs/mfs.htm?hx-forge.htm I can read that

In  Forging Wizard Panel I can't see any button that can I use to use imported geometry image

 

2) Using the HyperXtrudna program, is it possible to simulate die forging with imported geometry of the workpiece material and tools? Do not confuse the forging process with metal pressing

    Hello,

    The Billet Forging interface is for Extrusion companies who forge billets before extrusion. Such billet forging is used for supper alloy extrusions ( e.g., Steel, Titanium). The interface and solver do not support any other forging type ( e.g., free shape, etc.).

    Is this the use case?
