AutoForm-DataManager
Software for
Efficient Management of AutoForm Data
AutoForm provides software solutions for sheet metal forming,
which are useful along the entire process chain for sheet metal
parts: Thus AutoForm is used for product feasibility assessments,
die face design and simulation of the forming process as well
as for tooling and process optimization and evaluation of the process
robustness.
In doing so, a lot of simulation data are produced until the
final tool concept is determined. Furthermore additional loops
occur due to changes of the part geometry during a project. All
these data have to be managed in an appropriate way.
The module AutoForm-DataManager handles the
increasing amount of data and considers the associated requirements
for the management of these data. The software provides the following
benefits:
 |
Simplified handling of AutoForm
data and simulation jobs
|
 |
Enhanced possibilities for search
of data based on use of project information (e.g. customer,
vehicle program, …)
|
 |
Search in realtime due to integrated
database
|
 |
Possibility to organize data
in clear hierarchical structures
|

AutoForm-DataManager’s main features for the management of
AutoForm projects include:
 |
Automatic creation of project
trees
|
 |
Display of file type and
status
|
 |
History functions for files
("parent-child" relationship) |
 |
Detailed view and comparison of
simulation parameters |
 |
Various filter functions for simulations
/ jobs |
 |
User definable previews |
 |
User definable status flags |
 |
Display of job progress for running
simulations |
