Analysis of Elastic Mold Deflection and Anticipatory Correction

Software 'AutoForm-ToolDeflect' for efficient analysis and correction of elastic mold deflection.

Due to the recent expansion of high-strength steel applications, simulations that take into account mold deflection are being required. By enabling the prediction of mold deflection and feeding back the deformation to the mold shape, it contributes to reducing the number of trial runs. AutoForm-ToolDeflect can be used from the early stages of process design when the final shape of the mold is not yet determined in CAD. It allows for the quick creation of initial concepts for mold design based solely on the part shape. Additionally, by analyzing various concepts, it becomes possible to select the most effective design. When utilizing AutoForm-ToolDeflect for final verification, the final mold shape data created in CAD is used. Once the mold deflection is calculated, over-crowning can be performed. This result can also be used as data for machining.
