The AutoForm-UG module directly integrates AutoForm software and AutoForm parameters into UniGraphics, making two programs associatively linked. User control of AutoForm and the management of simulation files are partially transferred to UniGraphics. This integration not only greatly improves the speed and efficiency of design and engineering cycles, but also improves the consistency of part data in UniGraphics and the consistency of process data in AutoForm.

Surfaces, curves and tipping information are transferred from AutoForm to UniGraphics, and the corresponding process layout is stored in the UniGraphics document. Similarly, surfaces, curves and tipping information are transferred from UniGraphics to AutoForm to update and store the part geometry and to provide process information.

AutoForm-UG provides the following benefits for users working with AutoForm and UniGraphics:

	The entire product development cycle is faster and more efficient
	Product and process data are automatically and instantly updated, and are therefore more accurate (no conversions or approximations of surface data)
	Data source errors are minimized since all users in a project share one CAD data file (no manual data transfer or manual data handling)
	AutoForm results are directly available to UniGraphics users, enabling simultaneous engineering projects
	Greater ease-of-use of AutoForm software in the UniGraphics environment
