Thermal friction
Friction
Since there is no lubricant in hot forming, the friction is very high, the
default friction coefficient is 0.46. The user can change this if necessary.

Contact parameters
Setup the contact parameters for
each tool.
Boundary condition
The initial temperature of the
blank is defined in the boundary
of the 1st stage.
The temperature information file
*.new_temp_ic.inc will be
included.
User can select Celsius (C) or
Kelvin (K) as the unit of
temperature.
