Forming Technology Forum

In the last decade, virtual forming technology was mainly focused on a realistic numerical representation of forming processes. The high level of efficiency of the planning tools used in the industry has led to today’s axiom of the tool planning process, which says «No hardware without software».
Latest efforts in this field are aimed at the prediction of the influences of varying process parameters and mechanical material properties on the process by means of stochastic simulations.
At the conference, examples from the fields of manufacturing of car bodies, parts and semi-finished products shall help to demonstrate how these systems can be realized. Within the framework of the presentations, innovative developments in the different fields as well as already realized concepts will be introduced.

Technical Presentation:

• Title: "Sensitivity analysis for sheet metal forming processes with PAM-STAMP 2G and PAM-OPT"
• Authors: M. Skrikerud, P.Guyon, M. Theiss, ESI Group
