Draw simulation reveals plenty prior to die build and final part design. Simulating the sheetmetal-forming process and analyzing the entire die system allows users to bypass soft tooling, reduce tryout time, lower costs, increase productivity and improve cycle times.
compensation method, scale factor and itera- tions for a customized and accurate result. The job is submitted and, when completed, the pro- gram automatically checks the springback amount and calls the solver to make a com- pensation adjustment for the tooling mesh. The compensated tool then replaces the original tool, and multi-stage jobs are rerun until the ideal solution is found.
Another helpful feature, the availability of process templates, allows designers to define forming processes for typical cases. For example, process templates can be used for a fender/hood inner or outer, roof/door inner or outer, lift- gate inner or outer, etc. Users can import and export to and from the saved template library.
Also, eta/Dynaform Version 5.9.3 offers a new license control with license roaming, allow- ing users to borrow a license from the server to use the software temporarily outside of the network. The new license control also supports
The Auto SCP feature finds use for automatic spring- back-compensation iterations. When running the springback function, users first define the stamping stages—easily achieved using the step-by-step guided user interface. They then define the tool to be compensated, compensation zone,
a redundant license server within the network, which min- imizes license-server downtime. Version 6.0, available by year’s end, will include a new interface.
