Blank & Trim Line Optimization
Optimisation of stamping process parameters, such as forces, and drawbeads, and subsequent checking of the robustness of the process to natural variations in material properties and process variables is slowly being adopted, as computer hardware and software technology evolve in synergy to reduce calculation times, optimisation and robustness assessments become a logical extension of forming simulation.
An automatic optimization module runs iterations until a good result is found. Optimized blank shape and trim line helps saving material and reducing trimming operations.
