Pam-Tube 2G is a new suite of stamping-simulation software packages that are tailor-made for tube bending and hydroforming processes.
Available now from ESI Group, Pam-Tube 2G is a new suite of stamping-simulation software packages that are tailor-made for tube bending and hydroforming processes.
Pam-Tube 2G supports all stages, from design to product manufacturing.
Pam-Tube 2G is an intuitive software package, where the user is guided through the different steps of the process.
In response to market demand, Pam-Tube 2G offers accurate tube-bending simulation with realistic tool modelling and behaviour for better forming simulation results, as well as offering coupling capabilities for more accurate product performance assessment.
"ESI Group is engaging in a new phase in its long-term partnership related to advanced tube manufacturing technology", explains Martin Skrikerud, Product Manager at ESI Group.
"Pam-Tube 2G development has benefited from academic and industrial knowhow".
"Thanks to a partnership with the University of Siegen in Germany, and close collaboration with DaimlerChrysler, Audi, Schuler Hydro Forming, bu+Engineering , hde Solutions, Eberspacher and ThyssenKrupp Budd, we've brought a high level of confidence to tube-bending and hydro-forming simulation in a robust product solution for industrial manufacturing".
Pam-Tube 2G is a specialised engineering solution, which accelerates development cycles by reducing tube-bending design and hydro-forming costs.
It offers a unique environment combining specialised design tools for tube and hydro-forming processes, so that users can concentrate on fast strain and ovalisation predictions, automatic addendum design and welding considerations for mass production, instead of having to deal with software issues.
This solution offers extensive functionalities, including distributed parallel processing for bending, an annealing option, and multistage macro templates.
Pam-Stamp 2G offers a unique stamping-simulation value chain, from quick stamping die design, through early feasibility, to final validation and quality control.
The full range of features includes: parametric and surface-oriented binder and addendum generation with Pam-Diemaker; rapid and optimal feasibility analysis with Pam-Quikstamp Plus; and highly accurate forming validation, which can provide surface defect visualisation, spring-back prediction and automatic die compensation, with Pam-Autostamp.
ESI Group's metal-forming solutions now also include the design and simulation of tube hydroforming dies with Pam-Tube 2G, and part-feasibility checks and rapid die creation integrated within PLM environment, with Pam-TFA and Pam-Diemaker for Catia V5.
