Autoform R11

A core strength of AutoForm R11 is its ability to predict and minimize common manufacturing defects: Springback Control : For AHSS materials, R11 helps optimize parameters like Blank Holder Force (BHF)

AutoForm R11 acts as a virtual testing ground for sheet metal stamping. It allows tooling designers and manufacturing engineers to test and iterate forming processes before cutting a single block of physical steel. By evaluating variables up front, organizations drastically minimize the high costs associated with physical tryouts, tool wear, and mechanical failure. Virtual Stamping and Process Modeling

Heavy production presses exert hundreds of tons of force, causing solid steel dies to deflect elastically during structural stamping. This elastic deflection creates unintended localized variations in part geometry. autoform r11

AutoForm R11: Pushing the Boundaries of Sheet Metal Forming Accuracy

: Researching how to reduce material waste (up to 45%) by using pure shear deformation to form parts with minimal thickness variation. A core strength of AutoForm R11 is its

AutoForm has fully integrated TriboForm’s advanced friction models natively into R11.

R11 fully couples thermal and mechanical solutions: and severe thinning behaviors.

the "Robust Design" methodology for handling material variability.

: The software supports discrete integration points through the cross-section of the shell element. Users can scale between 5 to 11 integration points . Opting for 11 integration points provides superior accuracy when evaluating complex stress gradients, localized bending, and severe thinning behaviors.
