Die Design
Create a draw die in Inspire Studio that you can export to Inspire Form to perform a stamping simulation.
Flange Die
Create the flange die.
New
Prepare the part to create the flange die.
Assign
Creates a new object to be the starting input for the flange die. Allows you to select the objects or surface that can be assigned to it.

Tutorials
Start using Inspire Studio with our interactive tutorials.
Sketching
Create and edit a 2D sketch curve. A sketch curve is any "wire" entity such as a line, rectangle, circle, or arc.
Curves
Create and edit 3D curves by extending, rebuilding, intersecting, splitting, and projecting the shapes.
Surfaces
Create and edit 3D surfaces and solids by creating primitives or editing existing curves and surfaces.
PolyNURBS
Create polygonal surfaces that can easily be converted into NURBS surfaces.
Modify
Create new objects by manipulating and modifying source objects.
Direct
Quickly modify objects that are not a part of Construction History.
Deform
Deform one or more objects with respect to an axis.
Analysis
Analyze curves and surfaces, import simulation data, or access the Design Table and Variable Manager.
Dimensions
Dimension a line, edge, bounding box, angle, and radius/diameter in order to create objects which must fit predefined dimensions.
Drawing
Create detailed 2D drawings of the selected parts of a complex 3D model from multiple perspectives.
Rendering
Adjust the materials, environment, and properties of objects in the scene to create a photorealistic image.
Animation
In Inspire Studio you can animate an object or group and the camera. There are two methods of animation: key frame animation and path animation.

Assign

Creates a new object to be the starting input for the flange die. Allows you to select the objects or surface that can be assigned to it.

On the ribbon, click the Die Design tab.
In the Flange Die section of the ribbon, click the New icon.
Select Assign.
Select part objects you would like to use to create the new flange die.
Right-click to confirm.
Select the flanges you would like to assign to the new flange die.
Right-click to confirm.
The new Flange Part is created.
Use the white arrows to adjust the position of the new flange part (flange die transfer), or enter a value in the microdialog.
Right-click and mouse through the check mark to exit, or double-right-click.
