ETA-Dynaform
Sheet Metal forming simulation tool
DYNAFORM is a sheet metal forming simulation tool designed to improve all phases of the die development process to accomplish Die Design virtually. The system guides the engineer through cost estimation, quoting, die evaluation and formability simulation which can completely bypass soft tooling, reduce overall try-out time, lower costs and increase productivity for your organization
Analyze Die System Operations
Streamline modelling for scrap, trim dies, chutes & trim steel
Create trimming operations & shedding simulations
Simulate operational loads
Generate FEA models of the die structure Define operational & stamping loads
Evaluate die structure strength & durability Implicit & explicit solutions
Simulate metal transfer during manufacturing
Simulate transfer to die station, between stations & placement of finished piece on shipping rack

Use stress/strain results to prevent damage during transportation, & during loading & unloading operations
Blank Size Engineering
Costing engineers can simulate the formability and feasibility, improving development time and reducing change cost.
Dynaform determine material utilization and can optimize the use of material
Dynaform helps manufacturers reduce their sheet metal spend (light-weighting) and tooling costs
Dynaform decreases engineering changes due to formability issues by 33% on average.
