| The name of Item[4] | AutoForm-ThermoSolverplus |
| Details[4] | Software for Efficient Simulation of Hot Forming and Quenching Processes AutoForm-ThermoSolverplus enables users to realistically simulate hot forming and quenching processes. These processes have recently become important for the automotive industry in order to meet specific requirements regarding a higher level of crash safety and a reduction of overall weight. Components with high strength, challenging geometrical complexity and minimized springback effects can thereby be engineered in shorter time and at lower cost. AutoForm-ThermoSolverplus supports direct and indirect hot forming, which are both followed by the quenching and cooling processes. With AutoForm-ThermoSolverplus, car manufacturers and suppliers can reliably design and engineer the processes of hot-stamped parts for their new vehicles, such as A- and B-pillars, tunnels, front and rear bumper beams, side rail members, door beams or roof rails. |
| The name of Item[5] | AutoForm-DieDesigner®plus |
| Details[5] | Software for Rapid Die Face Generation during Process Engineering AutoForm-DieDesignerplus enables feasibility engineers, process planners and tool makers to rapidly create alternative die face designs for the complete sheet metal forming process. The selected die face design is used to automatically generate the tools required for tryout simulations with AutoForm-Solverplus and is then followed by a results evaluation with AutoForm-ProcessExplorerplus. AutoForm-DieDesignerplus is mainly used in the process engineering phase to rapidly generate die face designs for deep drawing tools. Its clear and logical structure enables users to work step-by-step, from the import of CAD part geometry to the complete die face design. Since tooling of the entire forming process is easily and consistently defined, AutoForm-DieDesignerplus significantly improves tool quality and reduces development time in the early phase of process engineering |
| The name of Item[6] | AutoForm-Trimplus |
| Details[6] | Software for Automatic Determination of Optimum Trim Line and Blank Outline AutoForm-Trimplus in combination with AutoForm-Solverplus is an essential tool for the determination of blank outlines and for the tryout of trimming dies used to find the optimum trim line. The software enables users to design trimming tools simultaneously with the draw die. The figure illustrates: Drawn part with trim line; Trimmed part; Restricken part with the desired part boundary (yellow) and trim line before initial AutoForm-Trimplus iteration (gray); Restricken part with the desired part boundary and trim line after final AutoForm-Trimplus iteration. The advantage of AutoForm-Trimplus over an inverse one-step simulation, which can also be used to find the blank outline, is the consideration of not only one, but several forming steps and results in much greater accuracy. |
| The name of Item[7] | AutoForm-Compensatorplus |
| Details[7] | Software for Geometry Compensation of Tool Based on Springback Results AutoForm-Compensatorplus allows users to automatically modify tooling surfaces based on precise springback calculation. Engineers can easily define compensation regions, which the software automatically adjusts using the springback results. The compensated geometry is then used for rapid and accurate tooling validation. The die faces are compensated in the opposite direction of springback. Either the entire tooling surface or selected regions may be modified. Different regions can be defined within the tool: direct, which is compensated directly; fixed, which remains unchanged; and fixed draft, which serves as a constrained compensation region for wiper flanges and draw walls. Defining these different regions allows engineers to systematically control compensation. |
| The name of Item[8] | AutoForm-Sigma®plus |
| Details[8] | Software for Sensitivity Analysis, Optimization and Robustness The AutoForm-Sigmaplus software module is specialized for analyzing and improving the robustness of sheet metal products and processes. It serves to improve and validate the forming process, and to reduce or eliminate part rejects. With AutoForm-Sigmaplus, products and processes can be designed so that the resulting manufacturing process is most efficient and stable while meeting desired quality targets. The influence and sensitivity of design parameters are easily analyzed which leads to improved process know-how and shorter development times. In addition, statistical process control techniques can already be applied in the design phase, taking into account the noise and variability that are inherent in the forming process. Therefore, sheet metal formers can address and solve key manufacturing problems much before going into production, with obvious advantages. |
