This is the topic that most toolmakers want to know about when the use of forming simulation is suggested. Before discussing this topic, it is important to understand what the intent of forming simulation is. A common misconception is that forming simulation software is a magical tool that is supposed to replace die designers’ and toolmakers’ years of experience. There is often a misunderstanding that such software can automatically design perfect dies with 100% success. This most certainly is not the intent of forming simulation software.

Recent research by the Aberdeen research company (October 2006, The Simulation-Driven Design Benchmark Report: Getting It Right the First Time) proves that the most effective manufacturers spend more time simulating upfront and reap the rewards towards the end of their projects. Here are a few short summaries from the research:

It is important to understand the difference between the calculation methods used in sheet metal forming simulation. The term INCREMENTAL and ONE-STEP refers to the calculation method used to solve the forming simulation mathematics of a sheet metal forming simulation problem. It is important to understand the difference between the two calculation methods and to understand when it is appropriate to use each method.
