ANALYZE FORMABILITY – ONE STEP Purpose

Use the Analyze Formability – One-step command to flatten all or some faces of a sheet metal part.

Objectives

Upon completion of this lesson, you will be able to: •

Perform complete or intermediate unforming, or flatten a sheet metal part.

•

Output the flattened profile or springback faceted bodies for both intermediate unforming or complete part unforming.

•

Define different constraint types to control unforming.

ANALYZE FORMABILITY – ONE STEP Use the Analyze Formability – One-step command to flatten all or some faces of a sheet metal part using FEM analysis and calculate the thinning, stress, strain, and springback to predict the risk of forming. You can: •

Perform complete or intermediate unforming, or flatten a sheet metal part.

•

Output the flattened profile or springback faceted bodies for both intermediate unforming or complete part unforming. You can also specify the target region and the unform region from a different sheet body.

•

Define different constraint types, both geometry and process, to control unforming.

ANALYZE FORMABILITY – ONE STEP The flattened profiles are produced as spline curves and the analysis results are post-processed and displayed in a color-coded plot mode. The analysis report is generated based on the subsequent results.

ANALYZE FORMABILITY – ONE STEP The Onestep Unform feature which saves your inputs and settings, is listed in the Part Navigator, and can be edited if required. The data is retrieved when you reopen the part file and run the Analyze Formability – One-step command.

Summary: ANALYZE FORMABILITY – ONE STEP Use Analyze Formability – One step command to flatten all or some faces of a sheet metal part using FEM analysis. Use it to calculate the thinning, stress, strain, and springback.

In this lesson you: Identified the key preferences and environment settings. Analyzed and flattened a complex sheet metal part.
