Run a Tryout Analysis

Run the forming operations for a tryout analysis.

  1. From the Tryout ribbon, Run tools, click Run Analysis.


  2. In the Run Analysis dialog, enter a name for the analysis.
  3. Determine the Mesh Size. Choose from the following options: Coarse, Medium, Fine, Custom, or Adaptive. For Custom and Adaptive, enter a value for the mesh size. Enter a value for Adaptive Level if you select Adaptive. Use the lightning bolt to restore the mesh size to default parameters set in Preferences.
  4. In Start Operation, select an operation to start the analysis from.
    Note: You must have previously analyzed the run with Inspire Form 2020 or later in order to have this option enabled.
    Note: If you make changes to a stage, make sure to select that stage or a previous one to include the changes in the analysis.
  5. In the Animation Frames table, you can adjust the frequency of the animation slices, depending on the stroke range as the tool is traveling to deform the sheet.


    Stroke Range
    Upper limit for the stroke measured from the closed position
    Stroke Incremements
    Amount of tool travel between animation frames
    The default values create animation files for every 1mm of travel when it is 5mm or less from a closed position. It writes an animation file every 5mm when the tool is more than 5mm and less than 50mm from the closed position.
  6. Click Run.
    Note: By default, the run is saved with the model name in the run history directory specified in the Preferences.
    Important: If the model setup has errors, an error message is issued with an option to Cancel or Continue the run.
