AGUSTA MFM GOALAGUSTA MFM GOALAgusta   Metal Forming Manager  (Agusta MFM) is an application intended to guide CAE analysts to  design,  manage  and  review  forming processes  for  all  products  made  by AgustaWestland,  by modeling  each  production technology.

Analyze a component starting from  its CAD  in order to verify forming feasibility (One Step Analysis) and to obtain the blank shape;Build  a multi‐stage  forming  strategy,  by  defining  a  forming technique  for  each  stage  (Sigle  Action  Draw,  Double  Action Draw, etc)Assign to each stage a shape from which to create die tools Setup stage problemsRun and post stage problemsCreate stage reports

Multistage Forming StrategyMultistage Forming StrategyProcess designers should answer to the following questions:

– How many stages the forming strategy is made by?

– Which  type  of  operation  is  performed  in  each stage?

– What is the product shape of each stage?

Drawing tools will be created starting from the mesh of final product. Users  will  create  the  product  of  each  forming  stage  by  using HyperMorph. Then, by using HyperForm automations (i.e. Tool Build), the shapes of forming tools will be derived semi‐automatically (Punch, Die, Blank holders).
