Stampack

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stampack is a commercial CAE simulation program with an integrated pre and post process that uses the finite element method to validate metal forming processes without the user needing to know about finite elements. Stampack's area of ​​application is the automotive, aircraft, packaging and household appliance industries. The software is particularly popular in Germany in medium-sized tool shops and in the Japanese automotive industry.

application areas

With Stampack the forming processes deep drawing, ironing, embossing, stretch drawing, forming of thick sheet metal and hydroforming of multi-chamber profiles can be simulated. In addition to the usual simulation with shell elements in the field of forming technology, Stampack also masters simulation with volume elements. This is particularly advantageous in the case of high stresses and strains in the direction of the thickness.

Products

Stampack is marketed in two different commercial products.

  • Stampack Xpress: An easy-to-use straightforward forming simulation with which all forming processes that run on a press can be simulated. The focus of the software is on the ease of use of the software.
  • Stampack Advanced: Covers all areas of application of the Stampack solver and the possibility to edit the finite element networks. The software focuses on comprehensive flexibility in the field of metal forming.

Functionality

The Stampack interface is based on the universal pre- and post-processor GiD and uses a parallelized dynamic solver with explicit time integration that masters both shell and volume elements. Particularly noteworthy is that Stampack uses a ductile failure criterion for the volume simulation that includes stresses and strains in all three spatial directions for the damage analysis. This is what distinguishes Stampack from the classic failure analysis with the deformation curve of the sheet. Stampack also includes an implicit solver for springback compensation . The material manufacturers Voestalpine and Bilstein make their material data available to the user in Stampack.

Distributors

Stampack has a worldwide network of local distributors. In Germany, Austria and Switzerland, the program is distributed by Men At Work GmbH based in Bietigheim (Baden) and Mecadat AG based in Langenbach.
