Start using Inspire Form with our interactive tutorials.
Create and assign variables to parametrize a model. This allows you to quickly iterate and compare design concepts by tweaking the values of the variables.
Create 2D sketches, surfaces, and solids.
These geometry tools are used frequently when prearing models for forming analysis, and have been placed on the Feasibility ribbon for convenience.
Apply materials, orient the stamping direction, and apply constraints.
Perform feasibility analyses to identify thinning, splitting and wrinkling problems during the forming process.
Generate a report as a .pptx file from the results of a completed simulation.
Select the run and load case for the feasibility analysis, then view the results.
Use the Die Design ribbon to design and generate die surfaces.
Perform tryout analyses to validate die designs.
Evaluate designs by using geometric variables and applying a design-of-experiments (DOE) or optimization method. We recommend fully constraining your sketch when sketch variables are used in the design exploration.
Adjust the materials, environment, and properties of objects in the scene to create a photorealistic image.
Analyze the object geometry for negative draft, trim angle, and shortest distance between parts.
View the glossary or frequently asked questions.
Learn keyboard shortcuts and mouse controls for common operations.
