Simulation of Sheet Metal Forming – New Developments
The use of finite element (FE [12], [16]) simulations to conduct a virtual validation of the forming process for sheet metal parts has been introduced in the mid 1990s and is state of the art in the automotive industry today. Two challenging tasks for determination of feasibility of a tool design and its process parameters [17] are the prediction of the material behavior during the forming process and the springback of the final part [2,3,4].
