Description

The sixth-generation DYNAFORM Die Simulation Software presents an advanced platform that boasts a user-friendly and visually appealing interface designed for ease of use. Focused on the stamping process, this software minimizes the need for extensive CAE expertise and simplifies geometry and element tasks. Among its notable enhancements, users will find a well-structured tree management system for operations, a dedicated simulation data manager, and customizable icon groupings for quick access to drop-down menu features. Additionally, it offers distinct applications that operate independently, integrated pre- and post-processing capabilities, a multi-window view for better analysis, and the convenience of accessing functions with right-click options. Supporting large-scale forming simulations, the software includes a geometry management tool, a process wizard for optimizing blank sizes, a comprehensive material library, new draw bead shapes, and an efficient coordinate system manager. The combination of these features enhances the overall simulation experience, making it a powerful tool for engineers and designers alike.

Description

PDS® is an all-encompassing and advanced computer-aided design and engineering tool. Focused on production efficiency, PDS ensures optimal design outcomes while minimizing the overall installed costs associated with projects. This application not only boosts value and mitigates risk but also maintains the integrity of data throughout the process. Since the mid-1980s, it has been the preferred choice among owner operators and engineering, procurement, and construction firms worldwide for various design initiatives. It features dynamic walkthroughs, enabling operations and maintenance teams to engage with the virtual plant before actual construction begins. Moreover, PDS offers a specification-driven design approach, performing both "hard" and "soft" interference checks, and it generates precise material take-offs. Additionally, it comes equipped with a wealth of customizable reference data that adheres to industry standards, further enhancing its utility in diverse engineering projects.
