Stamping, Welding & Assembly Simulation Seminars

Phil Showers,

At ESI, we understand the constant pressure OEMs and suppliers face to reduce development cost while maintaining a very high level of engineering innovation.  Manufacturers have to deliver high precision assemblies consistently to meet stringent tolerances, while satisfying durability requirements.  In this environment, the ability to design and verify sheet metal and tube forming dies quickly, as well as account for weld-induced distortion and residual stresses, plays an increasingly important role in product design and process planning.

Sheet Metal & Tube Die Design & Forming Simulation Seminar

Please join us for a Die Design & Metal Forming Simulation Seminar that will show you how simulation technology can speed up your die design and process development, and identify potential defects before the tooling is built.

·         From product CAD data, PAM-STAMP2G allows you to design and optimize the binder surface and die addendum in just minutes.  Its rapid and iterative parametric approach generates a realistic simulation model, allowing the user to quickly evaluate part formability. Tipping direction, binder surface and addendum geometry can easily be modified, allowing total control of the design process.  The validated die surface can then be exported back to your CAD package.

Parametric Die Design

Thinning Distribution

·         PAM-STAMP2G allows die designers to quickly check and evaluate die design and process parameters, such as binder tonnage and drawbead geometries. PAM-STAMP2G carries out fast and reliable evaluations of the forming process and predicts splits, wrinkles, thinning and springback.

What others are saying about forming simulation
“The use of an advanced incremental simulation tool enables us to overcome the challenges posed by high-strength steels and dual-phase steels and meet our customers’ requirements in as little time as possible. We believe our expertise with PAM-STAMP 2G is a significant competitive advantage.”
Mark Broadworth, Tool Engineer, Atlas Tool

Weld Distortions & Residual Stresses Predictions Seminar

Please join us for a Welding & Assembly Simulation Seminar that will show you that welding simulation for distortion and residual stress prediction is a reality, and can now be implemented in a few hours to a few days.  These predictions allow for product design and process definition optimization in order to minimize distortion and residual stresses.

·         Simulation technology allows you to optimize the clamping conditions and weld sequence to minimize distortions quickly and efficiently.

Welding of Sub-Frame

Close-Up of Heat Source

·         Residual stresses generated during the welding process may have a strong influence on downstream stress levels, fatigue and brittle fracture.  Simulation technology can predict these weld-induced residual stresses - these “as-built” conditions can then be used as initial conditions in stress or fatigue calculations for more accurate calculations.

What others are saying about welding simulation
“The Weld Planner is an easy to use and fast predictive tool. It will be integrated in the future in product development at VW in Braunschweig. The Weld Planner has the potential to save one to two experimental loops, meaning 10 to 20k€ by part.”
Hans-Werner Scholz, Development, VW Braunschweig
