Manufacturing engineering software solution for sheet metal components

FTI FASTIncremental is a user-friendly, 3D explicit incremental analysis solution that provides a complete virtual die development and try-out for tool and die makers. FTI FASTIncremental provides a detailed solution for validating tooling designs and process parameters prior to cutting dies. It requires no simulation background and offers advanced features, such as automatic blank shape and trim line development, automatic process setup, gravity loading, and binder simulation.

FTI FASTIncremental multiple solvers graphical simulation

Utilising Hexagon’s Dytran non-linear, transient dynamic, 3D explicit solver and Hexagon’s Coupled Hybrid Inverse (CHI) solver for fast, accurate results. It enables engineers to accurately predict the stresses and deformations experienced by the metal, determines if the metal will fail, and eliminates formability guesswork, resulting in a substantial reduction in die tryout and rework.
