First, axisymmetrical pieces were clasified into families; then forging design rules were identified for draft angles, radius, flash land and preforms. Finally the application was implemented in I/EMS from Intergraph using the Parametric Programming Language (PPL) and the I/FORMS interface. In order to reach a wider range of CAD softwares and hardware platforms a prototype of the application has also been implemented in an Object Oriented Language (C++) and with and X11 based interface.5enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessjournal article10.1016/0924-0136(94)90423-5Ceramics and CompositesComputer Science ApplicationsMetals and AlloysIndustrial and Manufacturing Engineeringhttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=2742604310&partnerID=8YFLogxK
