Tubular Hydroforming Simulation

Side Rail Hydroforming Simulation

• Tubular hydroforming can be simulated to identify cost, weight reduction and quality improvements

• Process parameter optimization such as internal pressure, end-feeding and lubricants

• Advanced high-strength steel selection to improve structural performance while maintaining good formability

• Tool design and virtual try-out

• Various processes can be simulated including:

1. Rotary draw bending

2. Press bending

3. Expansions and swages

4. Final calibrations
