Dieface Design
@
Dieface design is the first important step of die design.
It is important since die face quality strongly relates to die structure design quality. Essential feature of die face design is creation of die face shape with enough evaluation from press forming severity point of view. When evaluated result is not satisfactory for the designer, die face shape should be modified. Threfore, this is a typical trial and error design. In order to support this fundamental requirement of die face design, support system should provide easy to use and good performance modeling functions and enough evaluation functions, and hopefully parametric functions.

CADCEUS/Dieface Design satisfies all of these three kinds of functions.
