Forming Suite Tutorial

Hello everybody...

Welcome to Mech Dezignz...

Today we will learn how to open blank in FTI (Forming Suite)...

For this we will have to take middle surface of any part and then convert it into iges format...

I have made a middle surface for the process now...

So lets start by opening forming suite now...

Then we will provide material properties and thickness

And then select middle surface (as we have used this surface for unforming)...

Then process setup for meshing details, which will be auto-filled...

Then select punch direction and select auto for auto selecting punch direction...

Then providing next options we can get the blank definition...

Then go for nesting option and provide offset as per requirement...

Thus we will get the layout of the strip formed...

There are various options for one up, two up and mirror...

Also we will get the strip details and utilisation...

The same can be exported as shown...

Thanks...
