AutoForm^plus R3.1 Win32

AutoForm^plus R3.1 Win32 is an integrated CAE solution from AutoForm for the design, simulation, and optimization of sheet metal forming processes. Built for automotive OEMs, tier suppliers, and tool and die makers, it supports the workflow from early feasibility through die face design, process engineering, and tryout, helping teams achieve high-quality panels with fewer loops, lower scrap, and shorter lead times.

Key capabilities

• Feasibility and formability assessment: Rapid one-step analysis to detect splits, wrinkles, and excessive thinning, with FLD-based evaluation.
• Incremental forming simulation: Detailed multi-stage press simulations for draw, re-strike, trimming, flanging, and springback prediction.
• Die and process design: Tools for binder and addendum creation, drawbead definition, blank development and nesting, and trim line optimization.
• Springback management: Analysis, compensation workflows, and iterative correction to meet geometry targets.
• Robustness and sensitivity: Studies to assess the impact of material scatter and process tolerances on part quality and feasibility.
• Model setup and data handling: Automatic meshing, material and friction libraries, and import/export for common CAD formats (e.g., CATIA, NX, STEP, IGES).
• Results and reporting: Clear visualization of thickness, strain, and surface quality, plus configurable reports for design reviews and shop-floor communication.

Platform

• Windows 32-bit (R3.1 release). Note that R3.1 is an earlier release; check system compatibility and consider newer AutoForm versions if you need current platform support and features.
