Autoform is a software used to simulate stamping, especially forming process. A lot of practice show that Autoform simulations have highly similar results compared with real tooling tryout. So It's a good idea to run Autoform simulation before the real tooling build, and we can change the process parameters to get different simulation result. Only when we get the satisfying simulation result, we start real tooling build. Thus, this can reduce tooling tryout times as well as tooling develop period significantly. The specific applications are listed below:

• Formability analysis and to check if there is split risk in the forming process.
• Wrinkle risk analysis.
• Trimline optimization.
• Forming springback and springback compensation.
