ESI PAM-Stamp v2017 From Design/Concept to Try-out For any given metal forming process, it is possible today to conceive everything in a virtual engineering equivalent - from detailing customer requests to virtually inspecting the final product, as well as setting-up the production facilities. This includes material cost estimation, die design and feasibility, part design validation and tooling design and forming processes. Virtual Press - Courtesy of AP&T Virtual Press - Courtesy of AP&T Below you will find a good selection of the milestones and elements of a virtual stamping engineering process that you can excel with stamping simulation software and solutions from ESI - from sheet metal stamp simulation to style,design, part and dies production – and beyond. Making engineers productive – What is available and how does it work: Topology check, cleanup and repair Material cost estimation Die face design next generation based on B-Spline geometry Fast link with simulation Accurate numerical methods Geometrical drawbeads Springback - Kinematic Hardening Model Ironing Triple speed mode for breathtaking short simulation times Precise prediction of wrinkles including folding – no numerical flattening Blank & Trim Line Optimization Springback of High Strength Steel (Multi-operation) compensation Virtual prototyping of the full stamping chain Cosmetic defects Customization High quality results without tradeoffs in cost and time Hot Forming , End-to-End Virtual Prototyping Chaining with manufacturing engineering and assembly prototyping Virtual Reality
