AutoForm Plus R12 12.0.1.1

AutoForm Plus is a software solution developed by AutoForm Engineering, a company specializing in simulation software for the automotive industry. AutoForm Plus is mainly used to simulate sheet metal forming and mold design in the production of automotive components and other sheet metal products.

It allows users to reach the next level of process simulation through a powerful new set of functions and enhancements. As a result, users benefit from greater flexibility and efficiency in process setup and final validation for all forming processes in general and in particular for continuous dies and forming hot image.

Features of AutoForm Plus

• Simulation of sheet metal forming: AutoForm Plus allows manufacturers to simulate the entire sheet metal forming process, from the initial blank to the final forming part. This helps predict and optimize the forming process to avoid defects such as wrinkles, cracks and material thinning.
• Mold face design: The software supports the design of forming molds and tools necessary for the sheet metal forming process. It helps optimize mold face shape to achieve desired part shape and minimize material waste.
• Material Modeling: AutoForm Plus includes a materials database with a wide range of materials commonly used in the automotive industry. These materials can be selected and applied to simulations to accurately represent the actual behavior of the metal plate.
• Process optimization: Users can test various process parameters, such as workpiece size, forming speed, and tool configuration, to optimize the forming process to achieve cost-effective and quality.
• Cost estimates: AutoForm Plus can provide cost estimates for sheet metal forming processes, helping manufacturers make informed decisions about production methods and material usage.
• Quality assurance: By simulating the forming process in advance, manufacturers can identify potential defects and problems, reduce the need for costly trial-and-error on the shop floor, and improve product quality overall product.
• Multi-disciplinary simulation: The software can integrate with other simulation tools and platforms to provide comprehensive analysis of the entire manufacturing process, including thermal, structural and electrical aspects words.
