Product Overview
CATFORM provides CATIA V5 users with a fast formability analysis for evaluation and validation of stamped components. Formability analysis is based on component geometry and accounts for material properties, friction, and blank holder force. CATFORM determines if a component can be stamped consistently with minimum cost, while fulfilling all product performance requirements and is fully integrated into Dassault Systemes PLM environment.
Customer Benefits
- substantially reduces process development time by accurately sizing blanks
- Accurately predicts feasibility of product geometry, as well as blank size, accounting for material properties, friction, and blankholder forces
- Results are stored in CATAnalysis file for PLM integration eliminating multiple files
- Complete analysis in minutes
