CAPY-Q.form
Sensitivity and robustness analysis of
FEM-based sheet metal forming processes
What is CAPY-Q.form
CAPY-Q.form is a statistical software for the efficient control and evaluation of FEM-based variant calculations during forming. The special feature of the software is the continuous 3D view of the statistical results on the FE mesh. This allows parameter sensitivities for relevant post variables (e.g. deviation, thinning) to be output at each FE mesh node of the drawn part. It is also possible to use sliders to optimize the quality of the drawn part based on the model or to identify an optimal process window for the drawing process using a robustness analysis.
Highlights of CAPY-Q.form
Design of experiments
Plan your simulation variants efficiently and conveniently with our DoE module.
Solver control
All simulation variants are carried out automatically via an interface to the FE solver.
3D Mesh comparision
Compare the surface results of the variant simulation in our step-by-step evaluation.
3D Sensitivitiy analysis
Determine the local influences of the input parameters for various FE post variables such as thinning or springback.
3D Model optimization
Optimize your drawn part by generating new model-based simulation results in real time without performing new time consuming FE simulations.
3D Robustness analysis
Check your process robustness quickly and reliably using our 3D visualization based on the generated surrogate models.
