New to Inspire Form? Learn the basics here.
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.
Perform Feasibility, Blank Fit, and Blank Nesting analyses.
Open any part in Studio to design the die, and import the die face design into Inspire Form from Studio.
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.
Select the run and load case for the feasibility analysis, then view the results.
Select the run and load case for the tryout analysis, then view the results.
Use the Animation Toolbar that appears at the bottom of the modeling window to animate and record results.
Select a reference system for model position in the animation. The reference system is stationary, and you can view how the the model moves relative to the system.
Call out and review values for a selected result type at points of interest on your model using the callout icons in the Analysis Explorer.
Compare the results of multiple analysis runs in a table. The Compare Results button is located at the bottom of the Analysis Explorer.
Use the Tracers tool to visualize the path of a trace point during a forming run.
View the glossary or frequently asked questions.
Learn keyboard shortcuts and mouse controls for common operations.
