Beschreibung
Information technology and computer simulations have drastically altered the process of designing materials, products and manufacturing operations in recent years. In metal forming, numerical simulations help to save time and expenses by reducing the need for experimental trials, to forecast and improve properties that cannot be measured online, such as the microstructure evolution of a material during processing and to explore new setups as well as new settings in known processes that are not easily accessible experimentally, e.g. if this would require new equipment. Industrial needs have been a constant driver for innovation in the numerical simulation of both sheet and bulk metal forming processes. The automotive industry is an excellent example where sheet metal parts and the corresponding manufacturing processes are designed 'virtually' before expensive tool sets are built.
