Engineering Better Sheet Metal Components with Dynaform & LS-DYNA

Overview

This Lunch & Learn will provide an overview of how Dynaform and LS-DYNA can help sheet metal manufacturers and tool designers simulate and optimize forming processes before physical tryouts. The session will cover key challenges such as formability, wrinkling, tearing, springback, die design, and process optimization, while demonstrating how simulation can reduce development iterations, tooling modifications, and overall time-to-production.
