AutoForm Plus R12, developed by AutoForm Engineering GmbH, is a comprehensive software solution for designing, simulating, and optimizing sheet metal forming processes, particularly in the automotive industry. It supports engineers in creating and validating metal parts, improving efficiency, reducing errors, and cutting costs through advanced simulation tools. Key features include: Advanced Simulations: Utilizes Finite Element Method (FEM) to predict material behavior, such as wrinkles or splits, during forming processes. Material Modeling: Allows definition of material properties like elastic-plastic behavior and strain hardening for accurate simulations. Process Optimization: Enables evaluation of forming processes (e.g., stamping, bending) to optimize parameters like blank size and die geometry. Springback Analysis: Predicts and compensates for elastic recovery of sheet metal post-forming. Progressive Die Planning: Supports...
