Three reasons for choosing Form-Advisor Xpress


What is Form-Advisor ?

The increment base

die design and CAE solutionfor sheet metal forming process

fully integrated to MCAD system,

provides most accurate and feasible result


Form-Advisor Xpress is easy!

Form-Advisor Xpress is the easiest process design and CAE software in the market for sheet metal forming solution.

The lead time of Form-Advisor Xpress for one project is half hour to one half hour includes modeling and simulation.

Unique for engineer: the easiest, fastest, powerful solution to bring CAE validation to daily design process.

Base on the familiar CAD environment for all design activates and CAE simulation, eliminate the gap of CAD and CAE, reduce the learning curve to minimum, no CAE background required.


Form-Advisor Xpress is Accurate!

Form-Advisor Xpress provides most accurate and feasible CAE results for metal forming process in the familiar CAD design environment.

More ever, Form-Advisor Xpress provides quick design solution base on part at very early stage to evaluate more design concepts quickly.

Unique for validation: The 1st

increment base CAE solution fully integrated to MCAD environment, simulate all stamping phenomenon in a few clicks.

Innovation solver combined the last explicit and implicit simulation technology together, to provide the most accurate result.

Unique for design: build in

process design capability to provide quick solution decision.

Form-Advisor provides detail deformation, thickness and wrinkle analysis to guide the die design and optimize.


Form-Advisor Xpress is Affordable

Affordable priceThe ROI is very clear. Now, you only spend a little cost like around one mould price and get the high-end design and simulation solution.

Why Build in MCAD System?

Synchronous design and validation is

necessary for ‘Time To Market’ business.

Works within the current 3D MCAD system and users native assemblies for simulation. Reduce learning curve for new system.

CAD driven simulation. When you make a

design change in MCAD system, you see the change instantly in Form-Advisor.

Eliminate the gap between CAD and CAE, put the design and engineering decision to

the same person from day one of project.

Three Steps From Design to Validation

Form-AdvisorDesign the part, die face, drawbead and related blank profile in current MCAD system.

STEP-1

Support native assembly data.

Support full model and part model.

Support blank face or line profile.



Start Form-Advisor Xpress from MCAD directly. Full automatic meshing. Modeling define in one window.

STEP-2

Import MCAD native assembly data directly.

Template design to save 80% operation time.

Powerful part exchange and update function.

Support multi-stages and complex stamping operation.

Rich material database and data management.

Stamping Process Works (SPW)

The SPW module is specialized for process planners and tooling designers, to rapidly make stamping process design and generate die face for the complete stamping process.

SPW is not only used for typical one stagestamping widely but also very useful for progressive die design.

SPW can speed up the process design ten times faster compared with the traditional CAD method.

The user can generate several different tooling concepts and stages planning at very early stage and send to CAE system for validation.

of following stages

Define the drawing feature of stage I and generate the die face for validation. SPW with powerful Boolean operation function to extract features from 3D part or carry out feature operation easily.

The designed holding face and addendum for stage II of drawing. SPW help generate the die face. Key parameters , such as drawing depth, draft angle and fillet radius are fully parametric for control. The total lead time of modeling was less than 30 mins.
