How to Prepare a Tube-Bending Model in PAM-STAM
We are moving from sheet panels to tubes in this post. Some familiar ideas remain—material, tools and stages—but the starting geometry now needs a bending curve and tube section. The…
How to Start an Inverse Analysis in PAM-STAMP
Most of the series starts with a blank and calculates how it forms. Inverse analysis starts from the stamped part and works toward an estimate of the original blank. That…
Roll Hemming in PAM-STAMP: Plan the First Study
In roll hemming, the roller travels along the flange and folds it through the required passes. So the tool’s shape is only part of the setup. The path, orientation and…
Hot Forming in PAM-STAMP: Prepare the Inputs
Can we take the cold-forming model, enter a higher temperature and call it a hot-forming study? There is more to it than that. The sheet’s response can change with temperature,…
How to Transfer Forming Results with PAM-STAMP Mappin
If you export only the formed geometry, another simulation may receive the shape without the thickness change or residual state that came from forming. Mapping is a way to transfer…
