To solve challenges of extremely low FE calculation efficiency and integrated control on shaping and performance, the paper proposed a new idea and method for intelligent simulation and optimization of ring roiling process. By this method, the motions of various rolls could be driven in real time during the FE analysis by the control targets of controlling variables, such as growth speed of ring, rolling force, temperature and microstructure. Thus the rolling paths obtained could directly meet the control requirements of controlling variables only by one FE calculation. Some advances in intelligent modeling and simulation of radial-axial rolling of supersized (10 m) aluminum alloy ring, supersized cylinder ring rolling, radial-axial rolling driven by rolling force of large (5 m) aluminum alloy ring, and radial-axial rolling driven by temperature of as-cast billet were introduced briefly.
