Key Features:

Materials Database: Includes a customizable database for various materials.
Automatic Meshing: Simplifies the finite element analysis (FEA) process with a powerful mesh generator.
Tipping: Offers automatic and manual orientation of parts for press direction.
Forming Conditions: Simulates effects of blankholder force, drawbeads, pressure pads, and constraints.
Curved Binder: Allows creation or loading of binder surfaces for uniform draw depth.
Springback Analysis: Determines final part shape post-springback, with or without trimming.
Tailor Welded Parts: Supports defining different materials for various part areas.
Cut Off Dies: Provides five standard blank outlines.
Exporting Capabilities: Exports blanks in IGES or DXF format and results in Nastran or LS-DYNA format.
Reporting: Generates HTML reports summarizing on-screen results.

Company Background: Forming Technologies Incorporated is a leader in computer-aided engineering software for sheet metal forming design and simulation.
