Book cover Sheet Metal Forming Processes

Abstract

Much attention is given to the theoretical and technological methods behind stamping simulation models; however the applicability of these models in the productive completion of a comprehensive digital process plan is often overlooked. The role that simulation models play in the development process must consider the alignment of software usage, the available inputs, and the desired outputs supporting the work process, in addition to the software capabilities.
