FormingSuite v10, FTI CATIA v5-Based Ship for Sheet Metal

By DE Editors

Forming Technologies released FormingSuite v10.0 and FTI CATIA V5-Based software. Aimed at all sheet metal forming and costing engineers,  designers, and estimators, the software introduces new technology to stamping simulation, according to the company.

The release includes several new features, including advancements in springback simulation, new forming constraints to simulate clamping for positioning in jig and fixture tooling, a new springback alignment feature to position the results relative to the original part, improved NAS and STL file export for CAD springback compensation, and new measuring tools to eliminate the need for users going to CAD dimensional information.

In addition, FTI announced an enhancement to FASTFORM MultiStage with the addition of the dFIT solver to complement the existing iFIT solver.
