Ansys will release its first metal stamping simulation software in January, an all-inclusive product equipped to meet industry needs within one platform. With Ansys LS-DYNA as its solver, Ansys Forming provides predictive accuracy and a streamlined workflow to digitally design, simulate, and validate sheet metal forming throughout the metal manufacturing process. Ansys Forming enables early stage and detailed design configurations by allowing users to preset varying simulation needs, including feasibility, formability and springback prediction. Through this end-to-end workflow, engineers can perform the entire die process on a single platform, eliminate the need for physical testing, and enhance productivity and cost savings. Ansys Forming reaches optimum performance by maintaining predictive accuracy and speed. Sheet metal forming simulation helps manufacturers detect errors, identify the most appropriate materials, and determine the most efficient and cost-effective machining process to use. As a result, engineers spend less time designing and redesigning later. Additionally, Ansys Forming delivers a tremendous detail about the design, including identifying structural weaknesses where the metal might wrinkle, tear, or buckle. Ansys Forming product developers are already working toward future releases with additional functionalities, including a springback compensation feature.
