While maintaining its status as the most cost-effective solution of its type, this version features the addition of the over 50 new steel and aluminum materials, an expanded Die Structural Analysis module, as well as a host of new and improved functions.
“DYNAFORM’s expanded Die Structural Analysis (DSA) module which will surely help to increase manufacturing efficiency and productivity. Within DSA, a scrap shedding and removal function can help prevent line shutdown caused by the failure of scrap to exit the workstation,” said ETA CEO, Abraham Keisoglou.
Also incorporated in the expanded DSA module is the ability to simulate the transfer of metal as it progresses through the manufacturing process and to predict interference between the work-piece and tools from simulated part deformation. Additionally, the module allows the user to simulate operational loads to analyze die structural integrity and generate FEA models of the structure.
Several new and enhanced Pre and Post Processing features are also included in this newest release. Some examples include a new tonnage prediction function, the ability to free format input into the material library and an enhanced meshing tool which allows the user better control over small size parts.
DYNAFORM’s quick and easy AutoSetup feature includes an enhanced function to edit single point constraints (SPCs), now supports tube symmetry for hydro-forming and also offers automatic calculation of adaptive frequency based on tool travel distance.
Development of the popular Blank Size Engineering (BSE) and Die Face Engineering (DFE) modules was also advanced. New functions include Quick Unfold, Batch BSE, Batch MSTEP, Sidestep, Double-Attach Tipping”, Fillet Mesh, Double Fill”, Die Trim and Addendum Control Profile.
