Die Design
Create a draw die in Inspire Studio that you can export to Inspire Form to perform a stamping simulation.
Draw Die
Create the draw die.
Binder
Define one or more binders for the draw die. You can either assign an existing surface as a binder or create a flat from a new surface.
Create Flat
Create a flat binder from a new surface.

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.
Die Design
Create a draw die in Inspire Studio that you can export to Inspire Form to perform a stamping simulation.
- Getting Started
  Adjust the user profile and configure the camera view.
- Part
  Prepare the part to create the draw die.
- Draw Die
  Create the draw die.
  - Binder
    Define one or more binders for the draw die. You can either assign an existing surface as a binder or create a flat from a new surface.
    - Assign
      Assign an existing surface as a binder.
    - Create Flat
      Create a flat binder from a new surface.

      - Troubleshooting: Can't Create an Additional Binder
  - Addendum Loft
    Create one or more surfaces that extend from the part to the binder, to aid in stretching and forming.
  - Addendum Extend
    Create one or more surfaces that extend from the part to the binder, to aid in stretching and forming. These tools allow for more control over surfaces.
  - Die
    Trim the binder and add a round to finalize the draw die. Create a matching die by offset.
  - Drawbead
    Define a bead line and create a drawbead from it.
- Flange Die
  Create the flange die.
- Die Compensate
  Modify the die shape to compensate for potential springback after the part is formed.
- Export Options
  Select an export method for your simulation data.
Custom Plug-ins and Scripts
You can use C++ and Python to add custom operations and file formats.
Keyboard Shortcuts and Mouse Controls
Learn keyboard shortcuts and mouse controls for common operations.
SpaceMouse Support
Inspire Studio supports 3Dconnexion's SpaceMouse.

Troubleshooting: A Partial Binder is Created

Condition

A partial binder was created.

Cause

Some of the part's free edges were not selected because they are not tangent continuous throughout.

Remedy

Click the missing edges that weren't automatically selected.
