Abstract: Many kinds of physical and mechanical behaviors in material, which are proved to be hard forecasted quantitatively, will arise during its production and hot working process. By means of physical simulation technology, these physical and mechanical behaviors can be reproduced precisely. The basal principle and characteristics of the physical simulation technology, as well as the physical simulation equipments in the world at present are introduced briefly, and the development history of the physical simulation equipments in China and the work for knowledge exchange of physical simulation technology are reviewed as well. Finally, the prospect of development direction of physical simulation technology in the future is put forward based on the current problems.
