AutoForm-ProjectManager –
Software for Managing Project Data in Sheet Metal Forming Simulations
AutoForm has announced the release of AutoForm-ProjectManager,
a software solution to efficiently manage the large volumes of
data that are generated in sheet metal forming simulations.
 |
AutoForm-ProjectManager is a tool for the efficient administration
and handling of all AutoForm data.
|
According to industry surveys, members of project development
teams can waste 20-40% of their time on searching, sorting and
if necessary, restoring data. AutoForm-ProjectManager addresses
this problem and provides the following main benefits:
|
All AutoForm simulation data are automatically organized and
stored in clear hierarchal data structures – which improves
project productivity and enables users to save considerable time
when searching to retrieve archived data. The hierarchical data
structures also lead to more standardized work procedures, which
improves team efficiencies while reducing administrative costs.
|
|
All phases of the development cycle are documented, from initial
product concept until final production tooling – which is a
key ingredient for quality management. This also makes the product
and tooling development process more transparent, and preserves a
company’s valuable design and engineering know-how.
|
|
Many automated and specialized project management features are
included – which make project data easy to store, find,
track, organize, compare and share.
|
According to Dr. Waldemar Kubli, CEO and President: “AutoForm-ProjectManager
was developed together with leading automobile manufacturers in
Europe and the US to solve their requirements for handling the
large amounts of simulation data they generate in product feasibility
and tooling tryout projects. As a result, the software is very
practical, allowing users to concentrate on productive design and
engineering work, without losing time on administrative tasks.” AutoForm-ProjectManager
is available with the new release of software version 4.0.
