Tutorials
Start using Inspire Form with our interactive tutorials.
Variables
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.
Parametric Modeling
Create 2D sketches, surfaces, and solids.
Feasibility Setup and Simulation
Perform Feasibility, Blank Fit, and Blank Nesting analyses.
Die Design
Use the Die Design ribbon to design and generate die surfaces.
Tryout Setup and Simulation
Perform tryout analyses to validate die designs.
- Set Tryout Preferences
  Set preferences for tryout analysis.
- Define the Blank
  Define the blank in the tool set including the blank type, material, roll direction, and symmetry planes as required.
- Add Forming Operations
  Add an operation to an analysis to solve a forming problem.
- Auto Configure Tools
  Automatically build and configure the tools for standard forming operations.
- Add and Configure Tools
  Select from a variety of tools to include in a forming operation.
- Position Tools
  Define the position for a die set and trim and pierce lines.
- Define the Draw Direction
  Define the direction for the top die or press slide to move in the model.
- Preview the Motion of a Forming Operation
  Preview the motion of your die set during a forming operation.
- Run a Tryout Analysis
  Run the forming operations for a tryout analysis.
- View Tryout Results
  Select the run and load case for the tryout analysis, then view the results.
- Publish Reports
  Generate a report as a .pptx file from the results of a completed simulation.
- Compensate Die for Springback
  Adjust the die to counter the known springback in a formed shape.
- Export Springback Compensation
  Export springback compensation data for use in Cimatron in addition to NX and Catia for geometry compensation.
- Predict Blank Shape or Trim Line
  Predict blank shape or trim line from the target part shape using the analysis results.
Design Explorer
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.
Rendering
Adjust the materials, environment, and properties of objects in the scene to create a photorealistic image.
Geometric Analysis
Analyze the object geometry for negative draft, trim angle, and shortest distance between parts.
Reference
View the glossary or frequently asked questions.
Keyboard Shortcuts and Mouse Controls
Learn keyboard shortcuts and mouse controls for common operations.

Publish Reports

Generate a report as a .pptx file from the results of a completed simulation.

To make changes to the default template for report generation, update the template in Report template in Preferences.

From the Run History window, select a completed run.
On the ribbon, click the Tryout tab.
From the Run tools, select the Report icon.

The Report dialog appears.
For File Name, enter the name for the .pptx file of the report.
Select the Model Setup and Results information to include in the report. The Results options are the same as those found in the Analysis Explorer.
Click the Publish button.
A report with your specified results is generated as a .pptx file and stored in the same directory as the run history specified in the Preferences.
Note: Any user-defined callouts or custom views, such as draw-direction or isometric views, are captured in the report.
Note: Select Interactive 3D animation to embed H3D video files in the report. Click the Click the Image to animate link to play a video.
