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
The accuracy of sheet metal forming simulations strongly depends on, amongst others, friction modelling. The industrial standard is to use the Coulomb friction model with a constant coefficient of friction. This reference case shows that friction conditions in stamping production... View Article
