BendSim
BendSim in AutoPOL is a functionality that enables the simulation and analysis of the bending process of metal plates for tool design and optimisation of bending processes. This feature is particularly useful when creating bending dies for CNC machines, as it helps to determine exactly how the material will react during the bending process, including issues such as material deformation and the need to adjust bending tools.
Key features:
Simulation of the bending process:
- BendSim allows you to visualise how the material will look after bending, allowing you to check that all bends are performed correctly without errors.
- It allows the internal stresses in the material to be checked to ensure the correct shape.
Bending analysis:
- Helps to determine the optimum bending parameters such as bend angle, tool length and material type.
- It allows the prediction of potential problems such as wrinkling or breakage of the material.
Process optimization:
- With simulation, companies can optimise bending processes for better accuracy and fewer errors, increasing productivity and reducing material waste.
Checking tooling adjustments:
- The function allows tool set-up checks to ensure that the tool is suitable for processing specific materials and bends.
Support for different materials:
- BendSim supports the analysis of different types of materials, allowing the bending parameters to be adjusted according to the type of metal (e.g. aluminium, steel, stainless steel).
Improved accuracy and productivity:
- Reduces the need for costly physical prototypes and enables faster set-up and better accuracy in CNC machine set-up.
