A PRACTICAL SOFTWARE TOOL TO ASSIST IN THE DESIGN OF PREF0RMS AND ROLLS FOR NEAR NET SHAPE PROFILE ROLLING AND PROFILE RING ROLLING WAS DEVELOPED. THE SOFTWARE IS BASED ON SIMPLIFIED ANALYSIS AND RUNS ON A PC, ALLOWING RAPID DESIGN ITERATIONS. THIS ALLOWS THE DESIGNER TO DEVELOP A BETTER PRELIMINARY DESIGN BEFORE APPLYING FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS, THUS REDUCING THE NUMBER OF FINITE ELEMENT RUNS THAT MUST BE CONDUCTED, AND REDUCING OVERALL DESIGN CYCLE TIME.
