FEA – Simulation Verification

 in Sheet metal forming

FEA – Simulation Verification Numerical simulation methods are used to design and optimize new products and production processes. Material parameters and component deformation behavior have a significant influence on the accuracy of simulation calculations and their reliability. GOM’s optical measuring systems provide full-field information on material characteristics, 3D surface geometry and the forming behavior of sheet metal parts. These are valuable input parameters for simulation processes. In addition, ARAMIS and ARGUS are used to validate numerical simulations by calculating the […]

 in Sheet metal forming

Tool Try-Out Faster Tool Try-Out through Forming Optimization During try-out of sheet metal forming tools, the complex interaction between material, tool and press machine needs to be mastered as quickly as possible. GOM’s optical metrology systems enable fast inspection of the shape and dimensions of sheet metal parts. In addition, the GOM ARGUS system for forming analysis detects material defects that occur during the forming process even before they are visible to the human eye. Objective root cause analysis significantly […]

Tool Manufacture

 in Sheet metal forming

Tool Manufacture Die Design / Forming Simulation Stamping simulation software is used to test the forming process to ensure that complex metal forming problems can be identified as early as possible during tool development. The outcome of the forming process and part formability must be simulated with realistic values to guarantee that a perfect 3D-Die-Layout is developed during tool design. If input parameters such as material characteristic values are inaccurate, the simulation will produce poor forming tools. GOM systems deliver […]

Material Properties – FLC

 in Sheet metal forming

Material Properties – FLC Determination of Material Properties Simulation technology is used to calculate and optimize the design and shape of a product, along with the tools and forming process required for its manufacture, long before production actually starts. It is therefore essential to have information about the characteristics of the specific sheet metal used when designing a new product and manufacturing individual sheet metal parts. Knowledge of the material properties makes it possible to reliably compare product variants and […]
