Incremental Process Macros

The following image shows the Utility Menu of the HyperForm interface with Incremental_Radioss and Incremental_LsDyna user profile:

Incr_rad_utility_menu                incr_dyna_utility_menu

Incremental_Radioss Utility Menu                                Incremental LS-DYNA Utility Menu

 

All of the macros are located in the RADIOSS or LS-DYNA page of the macro area.  The incremental process macros help you easily setup different application types.  The following application types are available under Application:

Form - 1st forming operation setup.

Bend - Tube bending setup.

Hydro - Hydroforming setup.

Blank Opti - Blank Optimizer

TL Opti - Trim Line Optimizer

Die Compensation - Die Compensation macro

Multi - 2nd or nth forming operation setup.

Trim - Trimming operation setup.

Coarse - Coarsening of blank mesh setup.

Sprbk - Springback setup.

Grav - Gravity setup.

Depending on the application type chosen, the setup process contains different macros.  The organization of the buttons within the Utility Menu is top-down, guiding you through each step of the specific application type.

The following image shows the options available in the Incremental_LS-DYNA Utility Menu for the Multi application.
