AutoForm-PartDesigner
Software for
Easy and Rapid Part Modifications
Formability engineering requires iterative re-design of part features,
and re-evaluation of redesigned geometry until the part is determined
to be robustly formable. In order to quickly and reliably achieve
a formable part design, part modifications must be easy and quick
to implement, and formability results assessments must be quick
to obtain. Only then can the designer ensure that the optimal
product geometry is established and validated. However, relying
on a CAD system is not an efficient means of achieving this.
AutoForm-PartDesigner is a versatile, easy-to-use, add-on toolkit
for AutoForm-OneStep that implements part modifications quickly,
thus enabling sophisticated design studies to be carried out in
real time.
The following are the prominent features of AutoForm-PartDesigner:
 |
Automatic filleting of part geometry – global and variable
|
|
Processing of parts for double-attached stamping simulation
|
|
End fill generation
|
|
Smoothing of part edge to establish pre-trim geometry
|
|
Creation and modification of part features – embossments, stiffening beads, etc.
|
|
Controlled filling of holes in part geometry
|
|
Quick and automatic binder development
|
|
Geometry import from a wide variety of data formats
