FTI, Missler Partner to Improve Blank-Shape Development Software
Monday, June 18, 2012
Forming Technologies Inc., Burlington, Ontario, Canada, will provide its blank-shape-development technology to French software provider Missler Software. As a result, users of Missler’s TopSolid’Progress blank-shape-development software will enjoy improved blank-shape accuracy, thanks to use of FTI’s Coupled Hybrid Inverse solver. The solver, say company officials, optimizes simulation of shift in the neutral axis and more accurately represents real-world forming conditions in local flanging operations;
