Precision Metalforming Association (PMA) – MetalForming LIVE: Simulation of Progressive-Die Designs
July 20, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm EDT
3-Part Online Event | July 13, 20 and 27
This summer, the pages of MetalForming magazine come to life via a three-part online event: MetalForming LIVE. Tune in for free to hear MetalForming’s three expert columnists, Pete Ulintz, Danny Schaeffler, Ph.D., and Eren Billur, Ph.D, host 90-min. roundtable discussions on three topics of critical importance to metal formers. The topics: newer materials, progressive-die simulation and press-stroke optimization. They’ll be joined on the online stage by metal formers dispensing their expertise gleaned from extensive experience with the chosen topics. And, attendees can participate in lively Q&A discussions.
Part 2 of 3: July 20
Simulation of Progressive-Die Designs
Eren Billur introduces attendees to the development of simulation technology for progressive-die design, then leads a panel discussion on related issues of interest to metal formers and tolling professionals. Tune in to learn:
- When, why and where to use simulation technology
- The importance of verifying simulations and comparing them to real world results
- Why simulations results may be misinterpreted, how doing so can affect the stamping process, and how to avoid this situation
- Why simulations may fail—the difference between garbage-in-garbage-out (GIGO)
- and garbage-in-gospel-out
- The importance of understanding material properties when performing simulations.
Guest Panelist: Jeff Werkema, Simulation Manager, Die Cad Group
