AutoForm R11 utilizes an . This is crucial for problems requiring high structural accuracy, such as calculating the equilibrium between internal and external forces during a forming step.
is the industry-leading computer-aided engineering (CAE) software suite designed to simulate, validate, and optimize sheet metal stamping and Body-in-White (BiW) assembly processes. Developed by AutoForm Engineering GmbH, this software release establishes a new benchmark for virtual process engineering by narrowing the gap between digital simulation and real-world shop floor manufacturing. By integrating advanced material physics, thermal tracking, and elastic tool deflection, AutoForm R11 enables automotive and aerospace manufacturers to minimize physical die trials, eliminate scrap, and significantly compress tool development lead times. 🛠️ Key New Features and Technical Enhancements autoform r11
Tool deflection is a critical issue that leads to increased tryout loops, higher rejection rates, and costly press downtime. To ensure efficient production, this deflection must be compensated. AutoForm Forming R11 enables users to perform over-crowning by calculating elastic tool deflection. The results can then be directly used to generate milling data, effectively compensating for tool deformation in the die design phase and avoiding unnecessary and expensive physical tryout loops.
