The ring-gear forging example is simulated using the Ansys Mechanical Application. To solve this problem with Ansys Mechanical APDL, see Ring-Gear Forging Simulation with Rezoning in the Technology Showcase: Example Problems.

This example problem demonstrates the efficiency and usefulness of rezoning in a simulation of metal-forming processes. Rezoning facilitates the convergence of a nonlinear finite element simulation in which excessive element distortion occurs.
