[Case Study] Improvement of Springback Accuracy in 1180MPa High Tensile Steel

We will introduce the evaluation results considering advanced friction models using TriboForm.

In the simulation study conducted at high tension, where issues are often observed, we will introduce a case that focused particularly on "friction" and worked on improving accuracy. With the goal of enhancing accuracy in the process (drawing die) and reducing lead time, we conducted calculations using AutoForm with two different friction conditions and compared the results with actual panel dimensions. In simulations using constant friction, phenomena that were excessively represented were confirmed to show behavior changes closer to actual panels by using the TriboForm model. This led to a reduction in lead time due to fewer modifications needed in die manufacturing. 【Key Points in Evaluation】 ■ Setting thresholds based on an understanding of the impact of friction (tribology) on quality ■ Establishing a feasible schedule aligned with the trial dates for evaluation ■ FV settings for AutoForm simulation (FV settings: parameter settings suitable for accuracy evaluation) ■ In-depth technical discussions on friction issues and sharing of concerns *For detailed information on the case, please refer to the related links. For more details, feel free to contact us.

[Customer Case] Reduction of trimming blade creation man-hours by 30-40%

Reducing the man-hours for creating trim blade models! Case study on utilizing AutoForm-ProcessDesigner for CATIA.

We would like to introduce how AutoForm-ProcessDesigner for CATIA is utilized at Ogiwara Co., Ltd., a major mold manufacturer in the Kanto region. In the process of creating models using CAD, we aimed to reduce man-hours by sharing the task of creating trim blades. By integrating this software into the existing CAD procedures, we eliminated the cumbersome manual connections and blending tasks associated with the existing CAD procedures, making it possible to easily create the shapes of trim blades. As a result, we achieved a 40% reduction in man-hours. [Case Overview] ■Challenges - There were a very large number of trim blades, and a significant amount of man-hours was spent on creating shapes other than the molded parts. ■Results - We were able to reduce the man-hours for creating trim blade models by 30-40%. *For more detailed information about the case, please refer to the related links. For further inquiries, please feel free to contact us.

[Customer Case] Press processing company reduces trial time by one-third.

A case where the number of tryouts was reduced from 20 to 6, and the time spent on process evaluation was also shortened.

We would like to introduce a case where the design and development process was significantly streamlined at India Steel Summit, a mold manufacturer based in Greater Noida, India. By conducting robustness analysis to ensure stability during engineering, we determined a strategy to achieve the desired part accuracy while ensuring reproducibility of results. Utilizing "AutoForm-Compensator," we not only corrected springback predictions but also performed draw shell operations on molds from the second process onward during engineering, avoiding issues caused by sheet lifting and pad forming. By digitizing springback prediction corrections, we were able to conduct preliminary review work during the engineering phase before adjusting the actual molds during tryouts. **Results** - The introduction of digital springback prediction corrections significantly streamlined the design and development process. - The number of tryouts was reduced from 20 to 6. - The time spent on process evaluation was shortened from several months to several weeks. *For more details on this case, please refer to the related links. Feel free to contact us for more information.*

[Electric Craftsman NX Implementation Case] Good compatibility with other CAD data and easy layer management.

Introducing a case where we were able to consolidate decentralized drawing data.

We would like to introduce a case study of the implementation of "Denshō NX" at an electrical construction company in Osaka Prefecture. Before the implementation, they were exchanging CAD data with other companies, which made converting drawing formats difficult. The exchange of drawings led to an increase in drawing files, making management challenging, and they were considering better solutions. After the implementation, they found it easy to assign layers, and by using the sheet function, they could easily switch between displaying only architectural drawings or wiring diagrams, allowing them to consolidate their previously dispersed drawing data. 【Case Overview】 ■ Challenge: Difficulties in converting drawing formats due to exchanging CAD data with other companies. ■ Benefits: - Layer separation became easier when importing other CAD data. - Good compatibility with JWCAD, facilitating data exchange with other companies. - Performance remains relatively fast even with large data files. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
