Optimization in Tube Forming

The need for fast design and delivery of concepts for hydroformed parts has become important to address tight vehicle development cycles. The use of finite element simulation for the hydroforming process has helped to address some of the issues but not for the full design validation phase. The need for a fast full solution tool that helps to address from product feasibility to various stages of bending, preforming and hydroforming tooling Design, process development and validation become critical. This introduced the integrated solutions, which helped save a lot of time in the process of computer aided design of the hydroforming processes.
