Forming Technologies Inc (FTI) is Missler Software partner for blank shape development, stamping and flanging simulation for its TopSolid'Progress software solution.
The implementation of FTI technology in TopSolid'Progress offers various improvements. Developed blank shapes are more accurate thanks to FTI's Coupled Hybrid solver which provides a better simulation of the shift in the neutral axis. During strip layout design, FTI's representation of real world forming conditions in local flanging operations supports accuracy, reliability and productivity in the geometry development for each operation.
TopSolid'Progress provides all the required functions to help die designers compute sheetmetal blanks, design the strip layout and dies faster than with standard CAD software.
