AutoForm-Incremental^plus
Application Field: Hot Forming

Hot forming processes have recently become important for the automotive industry in order to meet specific requirements regarding a higher level of crash safety and a reduction of overall weight. It is a temperature and time dependent process and its simulation is obviously more complex compared to conventional stamping processes. AutoForm-Incremental^plus includes thermo-mechanical processes and its users can effectively simulate hot forming process.

AutoForm-Incremental^plus supports direct and indirect hot forming as well as other processes which involve temperature or strain-rate dependent material. Components with high strength, high geometrical complexity and minimized springback effects can now be produced in less time at lower cost.
