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.”
