Autoform Manual -

Instead of a dry list of buttons, this guide is organized by and mental models .

Ignore the pretty colors. Look at these 4 results in order: autoform manual

Once a simulation is run, the manual explains how to interpret complex results using specialized algorithms. Instead of a dry list of buttons, this

| Result | What it tells you | Good = | Bad = | |--------|-------------------|--------|-------| | | Is it safe? | Inside the curve | Above FLC (crack) or below left (wrinkle) | | Thickness Reduction | Will it fail later? | <20% | >25% (red zone) | | Springback | Will it fit in the assembly? | <0.5mm deviation | >1.5mm deviation | | Wrinkling | Is it oil-canning? | Smooth | Visible waves or buckling | | Result | What it tells you |

| Command | Where | What it does | |---------|-------|---------------| | F7 | Anywhere | Force re-mesh (your best friend) | | Ctrl + D | Results | Show deformation (exaggerated springback) | | B | Process view | Toggle blank visibility | | Alt + Click | On a bead | Edit its force curve without re-doing the bead | | FLC > User Defined | Material editor | Manually enter a FLC curve from a tensile test |
