FASTAMP-NX    

   The best software for die virtual die tryout and final validation of complete stamping process in Siemens NX    

   Forming Analysis Wizard is an essential tool specialized for accurate die tryouts and final validation of the complete stamping process. It is fully integrated into NX native environment and provides an easy-to-use complete incremental die simulation solution for quickly generating formability results at a very early stage of the product design cycle.

   A unique and innovative nonlinear transient dynamic finite element program with both Fusion & Fission adaptivity capability is used in Forming Analysis Wizard. It is designed to tolerate non-conforming CAD surfaces data, saving a great amount of time and effort usually spent on model preparation. The SMP (Shared Memory Processing) computing scheme is used to take full advantage of multiple-CPU, multiple-core and multiple-threat configurations of latest computing platforms in Windows environment. 

  It is the fastest commercial solving engine and about 5 times faster than prior generation dynamic finite element program with the same accuracy level. Accurate incremental tryout results can be available in only 0.3-2 hours for most sheet metal parts on popular pc platform. Different solving templates allow users to quickly evaluate at a very early stage and accurately validate the complete stamping process at final stage of the product and tool design cycle.  

Key benefits
  • Fast and reliable-The fastest dynamic finite element program with the same accuracy level;
  • Industrial-oriented-Easy-to-use for die face designers, die makers and tooling, stamping and manufacturing engineers;
  • Cost-efficient-Smoothly run on common pc platform and No FEA experience is required;
  • Understanding--eta/DYNAFORM reveals the physics controlling the forming process. This insight provides the reassurance to deliver innovative tooling capable of forming unconventional materials or geometry - a true competitive advantage.
