RxQuickForm

RxQuickForm will create a blank contour by using the inverse forming finite element analysis. A solid blank will be created if the blank profile is a close loop without self intersection. The internal solver for the inverse forming finite element analysis is OEM from ESI PAMSTAMP.

Procedures

1. On the ribbon, click STS tab > Unfolding panel > RxQuickForm.
2. Select the yellow faces as the part faces.
   
3. Select the pink edge as the Fixed Entities.
4. Select the XZ Plane as the Punching Direction.
5. Select the Material, and enter the Thickness of the part.
6. Set the Mesh Offset and the Mesh Tolerance.
7. Click to generate the blank profile.

Parameters:

1. Part Faces - Part surface that are going to be unfolded.
2. Fixed Entities - Face or edge that are going to be fixed during the unfold process.
3. Punching Direction - Direction of the stamping operation.
4. Material - Material of the part.
5. Thickness - Thickness of the part.
6. Mesh Offset - Offset from the selected part faces the mesh will be created.
7. Mesh Tol. - Tolerance of mesh used to control the density of the mesh.
