In this paper, a ring rolling simulator, AFDEX / RING, based on a rigid-thermoviscoplastic finite element method is presented with emphasis on its remeshing capabilities. Key features of the simulator are introduced and several application examples including two cold ring rolling processes and a hot rolling process are given, which show the characteristics of the simulator.
