FEATURES: The ONLY Regenerative and Associative environment for formability evaluation; simulates multiple processing scenarios in minutes with a regenerative tree Uses the most accurate forming analysis engine and only one for tight radii Materials database – populated by common materials; can add your own materials Automatic Meshing - Powerful mesh generator to hide FEA complexity. Capable of filling holes, offsetting to mid-plane, and displaying undercut elements Best in Class Skinning tool to convert from Solid into Skin, based on unique topology tool Forming Conditions – Best in Class tools to simulate blankholder forces, drawbeads, pressure pads, pilot holes, and constraints Curved Binder - Create or load a binder surface to create a more uniform draw depth Springback - Determine the final part shape resulting from springback, with or without trimming Tailor Welded Parts - Define additional materials for different areas of the part Cut Off Dies - 7 standard blank outlines are available The Most Trusted Tool to determine optimal material usage through geometric nesting of blanks Drastic reduction of risk related to inaccurate material cost calculations; reduces supplier variation between estimate and actual costs from 25% to within 1-2% Process 50 times more quotes than manual calculations More accurate scrap estimates for material rebates The cheapest layout, and hence cost, based on manufacturing constraints, as well as tooling costs FEATURES: Best in Class user interface - for immediate productivity Multiple input formats - IGES, DXF (lines and arcs only) Flexible setup - Optional pitch, coil width, and blank angle constraints to match available equipment and product requirements Multiple Nesting layouts - Fully optimized one up, two up, and standard blank shape nesting layouts Multi-Part Nesting - Two different parts that are manufactured together Cost analysis - Accurate blank cost is calculated, accounting for the tooling costs Interactive results - Sort results in an interactive spread sheet by material utilization, coil width, pitch, rotation angle and translation, including related nesting preview Exporting - The current nesting layout can be exported in IGES or DXF format for use in other applications Reports - Detailed reports showing the nesting layout and calculated results can be printed
