…and forming processes. Rewritten throughout for increased efficiency and ease of use, Forming Version 16 also offers various new features and enhancements for building robust simulation models. The new geometry data check feature allows users to identify simulation error as well as check their position within the geometry. This new model data can be sent back to the CAD model, allowing retracing of corrections. The user then reimports the optimized tool geometry and continues setting up the model.
