COPRA FEA RF 2025.1 - Release and Web-Seminar
The 2025.1 release introduces innovative features, enhanced functionalities, and improved simulation efficiency, offering users an unparalleled experience.
New Release Highlights
In this 20-minutes recording of our release Web-Seminar your host Lander Arrupe shows you the highlights and functionalities of our new software releases COPRA RF 2025 and COPRA FEA RF 2025.1.
New
Efficient Post-Processing with User Defined Range Sets:
Save time and streamline your workflow with the new User Defined Range Sets feature. This allows you to save frequently used post-processing results and their respective ranges, so you can easily access them with a single click, regardless of the project you are working on. Whether for quick comparisons or standard simulation results analysis, this feature enhances both speed and convenience, empowering users to focus on insights instead of setup.
Station Snapshot Embedded in Html Email (Professional Version):
Building on the success of the station snapshot feature, COPRA FEA RF 2025.1 now embeds snapshots directly into HTML emails. As forming stations change, professional users can receive snapshots on the go, enabling faster decision-making even when away from the workstation. Keep an eye on your simulation's progress and react more swiftly, ensuring minimal downtime.
Symmetry Plane to Prevent Models from Overflowing:
Simulations involving symmetrical models now include a dedicated symmetry plane within the model. This plane prevents the profile from mistakenly flowing across the symmetry boundary, ensuring accurate and realistic simulation results. With this enhancement, users can rely on more precise results when modeling symmetrical profiles.
Advanced Possibilities to Define Position and Orientation of Cross Sections (Professional Version):
This new feature offers advanced tools to define the position and orientation of cross sections with improved precision (e.g. take current view orientation, automatic search for a perpendicular cut, or definition by picking positions (nodes or points)). Whether you are dealing with curved profiles or deflected cut parts, you can now easily adjust the cutting plane's position and orientation for optimal results. These functions allow for greater accuracy and control in your simulations, ensuring that even complex profiles are handled with precision.
New Post-Processing Results in COPRA FEA RF Wirerolling: Distance to Tooling or Cross Section:
Gain deeper insights into your wire rolling simulations with the new "Distance to Tooling or Cross Section" result. This feature calculates the shortest distance between the wire outline and the selected cross section or tooling, helping users quickly identify deviations from the original design. Whether for quality control or further optimization, this new result offers a clearer understanding of the forming process. The result can be displayed as scalar or vector plot.
Improved
Improved Look and Feel in COPRA FEA RF Process Control:
Stay informed about your simulation progress with the refreshed COPRA FEA RF Process Control interface. Featuring improved readability and usability, this updated design allows users to effortlessly monitor key indicators such as wall time, CPU usage, current station and estimated remaining time. Furthermore, those key indicators, together with COPRA FEA RF Simulation Monitor plots are now available in the automatic report functionality.
Improved User Experience in COPRA FEA RF Model Setup (COPRA2FEA):
The COPRAFEA RF development team has enhanced the COPRA FEA RF Model Setup dialog (COPRA2FEA) to offer a more intuitive and efficient user experience.

Improved Post-Processing of Contact Body Results in Restarted Simulations:
Post-processing of tooling related results, such as torque, in restarted simulations have been improved in COPRA FEA RF 2025.1. This enhancement ensures that users can seamlessly continue their simulations while maintaining full accuracy and detail in contact body analysis. By improving how contact results are handled after a restart, users gain better continuity in their simulations and a more comprehensive understanding of forming behavior, even in complex restart scenarios.
