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.
Use the Die Design ribbon to design and generate die surfaces.
Set preferences for tryout analysis.
Define the blank in the tool set including the blank type, material, roll direction, and symmetry planes as required.
Add an operation to an analysis to solve a forming problem.
Automatically build and configure the tools for standard forming operations.
Select from a variety of tools to include in a forming operation.
Specify the position of the die set for the open and closed states.
Adjust the position of the trim, pierce, or lance lines relative to the blank.
Define the direction for the top die or press slide to move in the model.
Preview the motion of your die set during a forming operation.
Run the forming operations for a tryout analysis.
Select the run and load case for the tryout analysis, then view the results.
Generate a report as a .pptx file from the results of a completed simulation.
Adjust the die to counter the known springback in a formed shape.
Export springback compensation data for use in Cimatron in addition to NX and Catia for geometry compensation.
Predict blank shape or trim line from the target part shape using the analysis results.
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.
