Check Elems

Verify the basic quality of your elements.  The element quality check values have been pre-set for a typical one-step analysis.

Setup

Description

Autotip

Orient the part in a formable position with the assumption that the stamping direction is along the global z-axis. See the Autotipping panel for more information on this feature.

Materials

Create a new material or select one from the library.

Components

Create a new component and assign attributes such as elements, material, and thickness to a part.

Constraints

Specify boundary conditions.

Blankholder

Setup a blankholder with an appropriate clamping force.

Drawbeads

Set up the drawbeads and the corresponding restraining forces.

Save

Save your file.

Run

Launch a One-Step analysis.

Results

Description

Blank Shape

This displays the initial blank shape and writes out an IGES data file of the initial blank profile.

Deformed

View both initial and final deformed shape of the part.

% Thinning

View the contours of thinning per cent after forming.

Formability

View the formability contours on the part along with a FLD plot.

Blank Fit…

Opens the Blank Fit macro.

Generate Report

Create an HTML-based or PowerPoint presentation containing results from the forming analysis. Choose from among five result types and export as H3D, JPEG, or AVI files.

Note: End users of the resulting report must have the HyperView Player (7.0 SP1,SA-042 and above) installed to take full advantage of the animation features in the report.
