3DQuickForm
3DQuickForm
is a powerful SOLIDWORKS© add-in application for inverse forming
simulation. High speed, accuracy, and full associativity with
SOLIDWORKS© data are taken into consideration to make
3DQuickForm a production design tool for die designers. Users
can either import different types of CAD data or build the die
geometries in SOLIDWORKS© environment for the forming studies.
It helps OEM manufacturers, material suppliers, and die
manufacturers to deliver precision tooling in the shortest time
and with minimum physical try-outs
The
built-in mesher is automatic and allows user adjustment to meet
needs in different situations. Tool designers may fully
concentrate on the die design processes and virtual try-outs.
Simulations are run in project driven manner and support
multiple projects; thus streamlining design feasibility study,
process simulation, and optimization. Simulation results are
displayed to show initial blank shape, different material
thickness, and stress/strain distribution. Customizable material
database allows designers to test their design with different
materials. Fully integrated with SOLIDWORKS©, 3DQuickForm is
easy to use and rich in functions.
