![]() The KPR analysis addresses issues such as cosmetic quality, surface distortion for mating surfaces, dent resistance, continuity of reflect lines, continuity of features, slip lines and thinning. KPR techniques are used to review automotive Class A surfaces while the clay models are still in Styling. KPR/DFM strategies will expose BIW design problems early in the New Product Introduction process (Styling Studio) so that Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and manufacturing-based issues can be minimized. It enables design engineers to apply Key Product Requirements (KPR) and Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles. ![]() It considers component or tool geometry and accounts for material properties, friction, binder, addendum, blank holder force, pad pressure, draw-beads, and tailor-welded blanks.įASTFORM® ADVANCED uses FTI’s proprietary Coupled Hybrid Inverse (CHI) solver for fast and accurate results. Before releasing data to tooling, engineers run FASTFORM® Advanced to assess formability risks and optimize material usage. ![]() It identifies formability problems (splits/wrinkles) enabling users to implement design changes earlier in the product life cycle, saving time and money. Sources: Press materials received from the company and additional information gleaned from the company’s website.FASTFORM® ADVANCED enables users to quickly and easily evaluate part and process feasibility as well as determine blank shape and spring back for sheet metal components. In addition, FTI announced an enhancement to FASTFORM MultiStage with the addition of the dFIT solver to complement the existing iFIT solver.įor more information, visit Forming Technologies. The release includes several new features, including advancements in springback simulation, new forming constraints to simulate clamping for positioning in jig and fixture tooling, a new springback alignment feature to position the results relative to the original part, improved NAS and STL file export for CAD springback compensation, and new measuring tools to eliminate the need for users going to CAD dimensional information. ![]() ![]() Aimed at all sheet metal forming and costing engineers, designers, and estimators, the software introduces new technology to stamping simulation, according to the company. Forming Technologies released FormingSuite v10.0 and FTI CATIA V5-Based software. ![]()
