AutoForm TubeXpert R12

AutoForm TubeXpert is an easy-to-use and highly intuitive software solution for rapid tool design and simulation of bending, forming and hydroforming processes . The software enables you to meet growing demands for part complexity, part quality, and advanced materials, such as advanced high-strength steel and aluminum, as well as increasing complexity. and the variety of shaping processes.

With AutoForm TubeXpert, you can perform comprehensive virtual test analyzes of the forming process of tubular parts covering all process steps from bending and preforming to hydroforming, annealing and calibration, cutting and shaping of tube ends. Both hot and cold tubular forming can be solved. Additionally, the software allows you to perform accurate elastic simulations after any step in the forming process and automatically makes the necessary adjustments to the tool geometry and process parameters to compensate. impact of elasticity.
