|
Simple and Logical User Interface - Designed for immediate productivity through a familiar Microsoft Windows environment and excellent on-line help |
|
|
Materials Database - Built in materials database provides access to common materials for immediate analysis. Materials can be added, deleted or modified in the database. For improved accuracy user defined forming limit and stress-strain curves can be loaded. |
|
|
Geometry Tools - Extensive set of easy to use tools for modifying and repairing imported IGES surfaces |
|
|
Automatic Meshing - Powerful mesh generator removes complexity from the FEA process. Capable of filling holes, offsetting to the neutral fiber and displaying undercut elements |
|
|
Tipping - Automatic and manual orientation of the part into the press direction |
|
|
Fast solver - Most parts can be solved in minutes |
|
|
Forming Conditions - Includes tools to simulate the effects of blankholder force, drawbeads and pressure pads |
|
|
Constraints - Define specific displacement between the part and predicted blank |
|
|
Section Lines - Create section lines on the part to track material movement or graph critical sections of the part |
|
|
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 - 5 standard blank outlines are available |
|
|
Extensive Results - 6 main graphical plots are available for simple interpretation along with 18 additional plots for comprehensive analysis |
|
|
Forming Limit Diagram - Plot the strains on a forming limit diagram to view the overall formability |
|
|
Graphing - Graph critical sections of the part |
|
|
Punch Force - Determine the punch force required to form the part |
|
|
Exporting - The blank can be exported in IGES or DXF format for use in any CAD system. Results can be exported in Nastran or LS-DYNA format for use in other analyses. |
|
|
Reports - HTML reports summarizing the on screen results can be printed and saved |
|
|
Plotting - Plot a full scale version of the blank |
