In this paper, the finite element method (FEM) is used for simulation of piercing process of the tube in Mannesmann mill. The sensitivity of the simulation results to numerical methods and physical parameters is discussed. The simulated results visualize dynamic evolution of force in the piercing process. The stability of the process and force condition is analyzed by FEM simulation. The model is verified by comparing the values of calculated force parameters and those measured in laboratory conditions. Finally, the future plans are presented.
