Metal Forming
PAM-STAMP 2G: Full stamp value chain
Reference: STA-B

Level: Basic
Duration: 2-5 days (depending on options)
Audience: CAE engineers, model designers, and experienced manufacturing engineers involved in the stamping process
Objectives: Learn to perform a stamping simulation using the PAM-STAMP 2G complete stamping solution which covers the entire tooling process, from quotation and die design to formability and try-out validation
Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of the stamping process and of CAE software
Description: This course focuses on the basic theoretical background for PAM-STAMP 2G (element types, material data, boundary and initial conditions, contact definition …) and the practical aspects of stamp model creation (draw design, simulation). Participants learn to prepare models, run simulations, and evaluate results via the PAM-STAMP 2G Graphical User Interface (PAM-DIEMAKER, PAM-QUIKSTAMP, and/or PAM-AUTOSTAMP).
