AutoForm-OneStep® forCATIA
Software for
OneStep Feasibility Assessment inside CATIA
|
 |
AutoForm-OneStepforCATIA, an essential toolkit for sheet metal
product designers, is the first AutoForm software module that is fully
integrated into the CATIA V5 environment. Embedded within CATIA, the
OneStep Feasibility workbench brings together all functionality necessary
for quickly assessing and counter measuring potential splits and thinning
on product prior to its release. AutoForm-OneStepforCATIA enables
detailed strain and thickness evaluations through CATIA V5 GPS module.
AutoForm-OneStepforCATIA provides the following benefits:
 |
Increase efficiency and productivity of product designers –
staying within the CATIA V5 environment, product designers can continuously
check their product for stamping concerns
|
|
Enable quick and meaningful feasibility checks on product based on
stamping process inputs such as stamping direction, single versus
double-attached stamping, wrap surface, short sheet condition, etc.
|
|
Enable fully associative, reliable and quick manufacturing studies on
design alternatives, material type and gage, and stamping layout
|
|
Minimize expensive post-release changes to product
|
|
Estimate part weight and blank requirement for product
|
|
Improve performance analysis (crash, NVH, durability, etc.) through
mapping of forming results
|
The main features of AutoForm-OneStepforCATIA are:
|
Manufacturing-guided feasibility assessment embedded within CATIA V5
|
|
Built-in wizard for easy, rapid and continuous product evaluation
until final release
|
|
Fully associative manufacturing studies on product features, material grade and gage
|
|
