(Troy, Michigan): Engineering Technology Associates, Inc. (ETA) proudly announces the launch of Dynaform 7.2, the latest version of their leading sheet metal forming simulation software. Building on the robust capabilities of its predecessor, Dynaform 7.2 introduces a range of new features and enhancements designed to further streamline and optimize the simulation of die system processes in the automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing sectors. This release marks another step forward in ETA’s commitment to providing state-of-the-art tools for engineers and manufacturers worldwide.
Dynaform 7.1 was groundbreaking in its own right, introducing advanced Die Face Design (DFD) and Formability Simulation (FS) capabilities. However, Dynaform 7.2 brings a host of new features aimed at improving the speed and precision of metal forming processes. Notable enhancements include improvements in Blank Size Engineering (BSE), Die Face Design (DFD), Formability Simulation (FS), and Tube Bending & Forming (TBF). The BSE module now offers better nesting results, providing users with higher material utilisation rates. The DFD module sees a boost in tool design flexibility with features like the Auto CAM and Trim Segment functionalities, which streamline multistage design and cutting operations.
ETA’s Sigform solver continues to be at the core of accurate and rapid multistage forming simulations, now further enhanced to deliver even more precise results under complex forming conditions. Moreover, the Die Structural Integrity (DSI) module ensures that die structures
are analyzed dynamically, offering detailed insights into mechanical performance, load-bearing capacity, and potential areas of stress.
“We’re thrilled to unveil Dynaform 7.2, a significant leap forward in sheet metal forming simulation technology,” said Dr. Shan Nageswaran, CTO, ETA Inc. “This latest release builds upon the success of its predecessor, offering a broader range of features and enhancements that will empower engineers to optimize their processes and achieve unprecedented levels of efficiency and precision.”
“With Dynaform 7.2, ETA continues to demonstrate its commitment to providing industry-leading solutions that drive innovation and productivity in the manufacturing sector,” added Dr Shan.
The Scientific Benchmark is regarded as one of the most challenging categories at NUMISHEET, as it closely mirrors real-world industrial challenges. It emphasizes not just numerical simulation, but calibration accuracy, model complexity, and validation through physical test data.
Dynaform’s success reflects its ongoing commitment to providing simulation tools that are both scientifically rigorous and industrially relevant, thus helping manufacturers around the world optimize sheet metal forming processes, reduce production costs, and improve component quality.
