Abstract

See full text

A method for designing a formed sheet-metal part using a computing system is described. The method typically includes performing a numerical simulation of the forming process and computing a local property variable associated with points of the part. Problem zones of the sheet-metal part are identified based on the numerical simulation, and a visual representation of the sheet-metal part, in which problem zones are identified, is displayed. Information about a problem zone, such as status of the problem zone and the problem zone's unique identifier, are visually displayed.
