AutoForm Unveils New Software Release – AutoForm Version
4.1.1
AutoForm Engineering GmbH, the leading supplier of software solutions
for the sheet metal forming industry, has unveiled the latest release
of its software. The need for increased accuracy – substantial
for springback calculation – is the driving force behind
this software release.

The release of version 4.1.1 supplements the June release of version
4.1 with important enhancements offering increased accuracy and
efficiency. This new release significantly enhances the performance
of the core solver and improves the accuracy of the results.
The newly introduced adaptive mesh de-refinement for higher accuracy
has a substantial effect on
the simulation results. The accurate simulation results, in particular the precise
stress distribution, are important for accurate springback calculation. As a
result, the users can rely on an accurate final validation of tool and process
layout, including springback simulation and springback compensation – the
challenging topics in the sheet metal forming industry.
Dr. Waldemar Kubli, CEO of AutoForm Engineering stated: “Short
computation times and accurate results have always been our goal.
We are actively following the latest requests of our users and
the new features of version 4.1.1 empower them with the greatest
level of accuracy to date.”
