In this blog post we reveal a case study for a problematic aluminium hood-outer whereby splits were observed along the part during try-out. Those splits were however not detected in the initial forming simulations, which allowed TriboForm to rescue the... View Article
In this blog post we see how Volvo Cars includes tribological effects in stamping simulations with TriboForm. Special focus is given to the early tryout phase of dies in order to secure die tryout by solving as many problems as... View Article
We have been saying it for some time. More and more automotive companies are demanding a more accurate description of tribology conditions in forming simulations to prevent production issues and increase overall production stability for higher quality parts. In this... View Article
ASPECT European Regional Development Fund TriboForm is partner in the INTERREG project ASPECT on friction in metal forming. ASPECT stands for Advanced Simulation and control of tribology in metal forming Processes for the North-West European Consumer goods and Transport sectors.... View Article
With the accelerating pace of developments in the automotive industry, high impact innovations are required to ensure future growth. To shrink time lines and reduce development costs of new vehicles, software tools are increasingly used at Volvo Cars. TriboForm is... View Article
In the stamping of automotive parts, friction and lubrication play a key role. To improve the quality of metal forming simulations, TriboForm is integrated to adequately describe these tribological factors and applied to the door-outer of the all new Mercedes-Benz... View Article
The final quality of sheet metal formed parts like the front fender of the all-new Skoda Fabia is strongly determined by the type of sheet material, tooling material, lubrication type and lubrication amount used in actual production. For Skoda Auto,... View Article
Instead of performing many friction experiments, friction and lubrication conditions can now be simulated using the TriboForm software. Fast, easy-to-use and cost effective. This is demonstrated through an comparison between friction experiments and TriboForm simulations. Directly go to the: Technical... View Article
