With the development of technology, metalforming has become a very complex huge engineering system. We divided the problems involved in advanced metalforming processes into four levels, e.g., mechanism analysis, system base, subsystem and system. As it is impossible to do all the requisite tests, it is reasonable to make use of modeling and simulation to investigate the advanced metalforming system. By simulation, we can leam the overall relations of system variables, analyze the full process of system models, and optimize models and system. Now, modeling and simulation have been, widely used in Chinese metalforming engineering. The main reason is that it can decrease development cost, improve working reliability, and increase training safety of engineering system. In the past decade, Chinese scientists and engineers engaged in metalforming engineering have performed creative and fruitful research works, and gain a good profit. In this paper, authors will make a brief review about modeling and simulation done by their research group and other Chinese colleagues.
