'A case study for a problematic aluminum hood-outer whereby splits were observed along the part during try-out. See how TriboForm rescued the part by integrating the true tribological behavior.'

'Volvo Cars, like most OEMs, is looking for the next step to improve simulation accuracy and reduce tryout corrections. This is why they invest in TriboForm it is the next step forward.'

'Accounting for the actual tribology system and it’s variations is critical for use in stamping simulations and brings simulations closer to press-shop reality. '

'Simulation of temperature effects in the start-up of stamping production is the key topic in the EU ASPECT project. TriboForm delivers part of the required simulation technology'

'At the CAE & Die Development Department of Volvo Car Group, it is concluded that friction simulation is the way forward for improving metal forming simulations'

'If the quality of metal forming simulations is to be improved, an adequate description of tribological factors is required'

'Optimizing the process and lubrication conditions in try-out and mass production is the way to make high-quality products at an increasingly competitive way; TriboForm is the enabling software solution. '

'Instead of performing many friction experiments, we should truly understand friction and simulate it. TriboForm software is the enabling solution'
