AutoForm Assembly R10 software helps optimize BiW assembly process

AutoForm Engineering GmbH has unveiled new software version AutoForm Assembly R10. With its new features, the software helps users optimize the BiW assembly process and ensure the desired level of quality early in the process chain.

The software allows for the evaluation of the assembly process from early feasibility through to production support, including process engineering and initial tryout support. Users can import nominal CAD geometry in a variety of formats, assign all single parts a suitable material selected from an extensive material database, and define a range of alternative assembly processes by varying critical aspects. They also can simulate a hemming process.

Process adjustments can be made virtually, allowing users to define which clamps and joins should be considered for shimming and teaching. By running multiple simulations, the software helps users determine the optimal parameters to be applied to resolve accuracy issues in the assembly.
