What is passing?

After the recent posts on failure prediction based on FLCs, several inquiries arrived through the blog and social media, regarding interpretation of other outputs for...

Stamping System: Press speed and lubrication challenges

Lately, one of the most frequently asked questions in metal forming simulation has been “Can your software model the effects of a servo press?”...

Tribology, friction, and lubrication: A new dimension to metal forming simulations

In our previous post on the stamping system, several environmental variables within production sheet metal stamping are mentioned. In that post we listed variables...

Stamping System: Blank Shape, Size, and Location

The blank is one of the first parameters defined in a stamping simulation; it’s mechanical properties, shape, and location in the tool. However, many...

Simultaneous Engineering of Sheet Metal Parts

There is a long history of people promoting the idea of simultaneous engineering of product and processes. However, in many cases, the term “simultaneous...

Robust springback compensation success at Shanghai Volkswagen

Springback compensation is one of the key challenges in the field of die face engineering. We have mentioned the challenges with compensating springback several...

The Stamping System

A recurring theme on this blog, so far, has been sources of variation in production that might not be apparent to engineers when defining,...

In the rearview mirror

  Earlier this year AutoForm started this blog, “We Think In Sheet Metal”. Our goal: to communicate directly with you—the metal forming and engineering community. ...

High, low, multi-pressure sequence hydroforming? Which process fits?

When a closed section part is designed for manufacture, part shape, material grade, and wall thickness are often driven by the proposed hydroforming technology....

Simulation Accuracy: Input Definition and Results Interpretation

Has it ever happened to you? A simulation report shows a design is safe – green with no splitting failures, no red or yellow...
