Dynaform Overview

DYNAFORM analyzes the forces of die surfaces upon a blank. Forming Limit Diagrams plots show when and where parts will fracture or wrinkle.

DYNAFORM ends this process of guessing that a die design will work before cutting steel. It eliminates re-work, lowers costs, and ensures tooling is delivered on time and works to specifications - the first time.

DYNAFORM includes many modules:

• The Pre/Post-Processor allows all process design variables to be considered in a process analysis - punch, die, and slide surfaces, the actual part blank including addendum surfaces, the kinematics of a multi-action die, material specs, coatings, lubrication, and more.
• Incremental analysis typically involves 200 to 400 time increments so that actual processes are modeled including the ever-increasing contact between punch and die surfaces..
• Die Face Engineering (DFE) allows for fast setup of "what-if" scenearios for evaluation.
• Blank Size Engineering (BSE) module provides one-step inverse analysis functions for the development of blanks and trim lines, and
• The VPG module can be used to analyze the finished part in its application for structure and performance after considering characteristics imparted to the part during manufacturing (i.e. thinning and work hardening).
