  • Forming Technologies Releases CATSTAMP
    Julia White 905-827-2997 ext. 215 [email protected] For Release 9 a.m. EST October 4, 2004 Forming Technologies Releases CATSTAMP Associative and Generative Forming Feasibility for CATIA V5 Product Designers and Die Designers Oakville, ON, CANADA — October 4, 2004 —Forming Technologies Inc., (FTI) a global innovator of sheet metal formability analysis software and technology, today announced the worldwide release and immediate availability of CATSTAMP which delivers complete stamping evaluation for product and process development. CATSTAMP is CAA V5- based and provides CATIA V5 users with detailed formability analysis for evaluation and validation of stamped components and draw die developments. “The demand for CATSTAMP was generated by the global automotive OEM community and their Tier 1 suppliers,” said Dan Marinac, Director of Business Development at FTI. “They were seeking a fully associative and regenerative draw die feasibility tool to evaluate part configurations and stamping processes conditions. Automotive product designers and draw die development engineers will benefit most from the single-window interface that lets them quickly determine their formability risks prior to committing to hard tooling.” Formability analysis considers conditions for material properties, friction, blank holder force, pressure pad, drawbeads, curved binder, and pilot holes. CATSTAMP quickly identifies splitting, wrinkling and thinning within the familiar CATIA workbenches utilizing analysis results such as safety zone, forming zone, FLD, splitting, thinning, wrinkling, and thickening. CATSTAMP can also generate NASTRAN and LS-DYNA files containing thickness and strain results for input to downstream CAE applications such a vehicle impact simulation. Results are stored in the CATAnalysis file which is fully integrated into Dassault Systèmes’ PLM environment.

  • Top Ten Reasons to Embrace Spatial Components in 3D Application Design Introduction
    Top Ten Reasons to Embrace Spatial Components in 3D Application Design Introduction Successfully developing, deploying, and supporting 3D applications is a substantial challenge, requiring significant investment, precise execution, and focus on innovation and differentiation. 3D application development faces a variety of hurdles: hitting time-to-market goals, coming in under budget, producing a high quality product, and providing the functionality your customers require. Any one of these challenges can derail an otherwise smooth application deployment. To mitigate risk, software developers require a recognized partner that provides knowledge, experience, proven technology, and predictable deliverables. For nearly thirty years, Spatial Corp., a Dassault Systèmes subsidiary, has developed strong partnerships with market-leading software developers, providing software components for design applications across a broad range of industries. By leveraging Spatial’s 3D software development kits (SDKs) in their application development, Spatial customers can overcome common challenges— allowing them to focus on their unique core competencies, increase product innovation, and build competitive differentiation.
