stamping simulation capability

[ndk]

Hi,


Well, It's just a question...


I wonder if pro/mechanica can simulate stamping process (like the pics athttp://www.stampingsimulation.com/) I would try to simulate and analyse a simple hot stampedpart using 0.8mm thickness sheetmetal. Have anyone ever done something similar before? please guild me...


Thanx

NDK,


Stamping and forming requires the material to be yielded. UnfortunatelyPro/MECHANICA does not do this type of nonlinear analysis.

Altair's HyperForm is one software widely used in industry as well.
