Using 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA modeling software, you can automatically create a tooling model that compensates for spring back in the manufacturing process. Users of this solution get the power of the CATIA modeling kernel with the ease of use of SolidWorks that the 3DEXPERIENCE user interface provides. It drastically reduces the try-out phase, ensures high quality results, eliminating or minimizing manual finishing and tuning, and reduces overall tooling costs by 50%. Whether starting from an analysis prediction of spring back, or a scan of a deformed part, you can create a compensated tooling model in just one click and reduce CAD model rework of sheet metal and plastic parts by 80%.
This video shows how to achieve tooling model compensation for a sheet metal part from analysis predictions using 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA Global Morphing functionality
. Sheet metal forming analysis tools can produce a ‘displacements vector field’ that can be used to directly compensate the CAD model in 3DEXPERIENCE. This is all that is needed to directly “morph” the CAD model, in one click! Users can control parameters such as the scale of deformation (for example, compensate for only 97% of prediction) or even reverse the deformation to generate the compensated tooling model.
