The operation of simulation software very often requires a lot of expert knowledge to build up and program complex models. This is not the case with Simufact Forming: The user can focus on the engineering-related details of the forming process. He does not have to deal with the physics of the forming process, nor with simulation-specific details. Simufact Forming is application-oriented as well as easy and fast to master.
ESI PAM-STAMP gives you the ability to address sheet metal formability challenges from the design of parts and tooling to part production with a single tool. Validate the forming of individual panels and even help validate the assembly of closure panels, such as doors. Develop and validate key manufacturing and joining processes, virtually, to assure production capability of parts, sub-assemblies, and assemblies for all sheet metal parts, simple to complex, conventional steel to advanced lightweight sheet metals.
Tube bending in PAM-STAMP was developed in cooperation with academic and industrial institutions. The partnership with the University of Siegen and the close collaboration with DaimlerChrysler, Audi, Schuler Hydro Forming, bu+Engineering Gmbh, hde Solutions, Eberspâcher and ThyssenKrupp Budd resulted in a robust industrial software, which allows the reliable simulation of bending and hydroforming of tubes. It includes special functions for:
Typical customer challenges in hydroforming are similar to conventional sheet metal forming, with some additions. Starting from the final part, the hydroforming part design module PAM-TUBEMAKER supports the customer in reverse engineering workflow unto the required initial tube with all related manufacturing steps needed to achieve the final part. In reverse evolution, that means to cover the following challenges faced by the customer:
A wrinkle-free and no allowance forming method for sheet metals was investigated using a low-melting alloy (LMA) in this work. Using the low-melting alloy as a medium to transfer and provide a uniform pressure over the entire surface of the workpiece to form the sheet. When loaded evenly, the forming pressure could effectively prevent instability and wrinkling occurrence in the plate during the forming process. The blank could be formed into the target piece by proposed method without the need for machine allowance, which could improve the utilization ratio of material and eliminate the need for a trimming process for sheet metals forming. The low-melting alloy under heating has a low rheological strength and plasticity, which produced the corresponding flow following deformation of the sheet. The forming principle of the wrinkle-free method was analyzed through the principal stress method. The finite element software ABAQUS/Explicit was employed to establish the coupling fluid-solid FEM for low-melting alloy forming, while the formability and reduction of the sheet metal were analyzed numerically. The effects of the thickness, friction coefficient, forming force, and other process parameters of the alloy on sheet forming were studied. The experimental results show that the proposed method can significantly prevent wrinkling and instability occurrence in forming process and improve utilization of the material.

The optimization of the sheet metal forming process, taking into account the correct material selection and optimization of tools, is a decisive factor for competitiveness, particularly in the automotive industry during the development process of sheet metal parts, for tool try-out and in production troubleshooting. The forming analysis system ARGUS supports such optimization processes particularly by convincing and precise results of the surface strain on the components. The full-field results with high local image resolution provided by ARGUS enable the measurement of small and large components.
DEFORM is an engineering software that enables designers to analyse metal forming, heat treatment, machining and mechanical joining processes on the computer rather than the shop floor using trial and error. Process simulation using DEFORM has been instrumental in cost, quality and delivery improvements at many manufacturing organisations across the world. 2ff7e9595c
