With MetalForming magazine's Die Design and Simulation Software Experience set for May 27-28, in Troy, MI, it is a good time to get up to speed on recent developments in this technology. Read on for some updates. New in 2015 from Engineering Technology Associates, Inc. (ETA) (www.eta.com), Troy, MI, Dynaform's D-Eval Module was created especially to support and analyze CAD-based tooling and engineering designs. D-Eval is tailored to support engineers in the early stages of the product-design cycle, allowing them to take manufacturability into consideration ahead of the tooling stage. The CAE tools contained in D-Eval provide "What If" studies on tipping adjustments; binder generation and modifications; morphing; drawbead layout; line-bead and geometry-bead conversion; addendum modifications; and die-design modifications. The module also enables CAM trim evaluation and trim-line checks.
