【Easy Operation】 Preparation for executing analysis involves only the operation of setting up a blank and assembling the process. 【High-Speed Calculation】 The calculation speed is extremely fast due to unique methods in addition to general computational acceleration. 【From Rough to Detailed】 In shell element analysis, a rough understanding of phenomena occurring in the forming process is obtained. This is followed by solid element analysis, which accurately predicts the details of the molding process. 【Springback and Springforward】 Calculations are performed not only for springback due to forming but also for springback caused by trimming and cutting processes. Springforward calculations are also performed to determine mold shapes that take springback deformation into account. 【Trimming Optimization】 A function to properly adjust the material extraction of the blank. By inputting the initial shape of the blank and the target shape after forming, an appropriate blank shape is calculated. 【CAD Interface】 The mold shape required for forming utilizes CAD data. In addition to industry-standard formats like Para Solid and Step, it can also read Siemens NX and Dassault CatiaV5.
