Export to Exchange

Export selected objects to a common file folder used to exchange data with other Altair products. For example, you can export a die design from Inspire Studio to Inspire Form to perform a stamping simulation. You can access this option from the right-click menu or the File menu.

New Features: Modeling

3D Line Tool

Create straight lines in planar or non-planar 3D space. The line can be free in 3D space, tangent to a source curve, perpendicular to a source curve, normal to the plane in which a source curve lies, fixed to a source curve at one end, or combined with a source curve. The source curve can be an individual curve or the edge of a surface.

New Features: Die Design

Available through User Profiles.

Part Tools

First define the part and then adjust the draw direction to create a draw die.

Binder Tools

Define one or more binders for the draw die. You can either assign an existing surface as a binder or create a flat from a new surface.

Addendum Tool

Create one or more surfaces that extend from the part to the binder, to aid in stretching and forming.

Die Tool

Trim the binder and add a round to finalize the draw die. Create a matching die using Offset.
