For self-paced learners, several high-quality video resources cover the fundamental "First Part" setup:
The engine behind the software. Training must cover how the solver calculates non-linear sheet metal deformation, friction, material plastic anisotropy, and contact mechanics. AutoForm-ProcessPlanner
Now, let's explore how to access this knowledge.
[Phase 1: Beginners] [Phase 2: Intermediate] [Phase 3: Advanced] Import CAD & Mesh --> Drawbead Strategy --> Springback Compensation Define Material/Blank Die Face Design Robustness (Sigma) Evaluate FLD & Splits Process Geometry Trim Line Optimization Phase 1: Beginner Level (Foundations)
This is the foundational engine of the software. It performs the finite element analysis (FEA) calculations to predict wrinkles, splits, thinning, and springback. Training in this module focuses on setting up material properties, defining friction coefficients, and configuring solver control parameters. 2.

AutoForm provides specialized video portals designed for self-paced learning and deep dives into specific software modules. ProcessDesigner for CATIA Video Portal : Organizes content by Process Design (step-by-step workflow), (e.g., door inner or fender), and (software functionality). Self-Study Capability
To compile a complete, comprehensive training repository, combine official documentation with community-driven video resources:
Several automotive engineering institutes host structured, multi-hour video courses on AutoForm. These courses often take you through a complete project, from a raw CAD file to a fully validated progressive or transfer die design. 📈 Step-by-Step Simulation Workflow
Before diving into the available resources, it's important to understand why structured learning is so valuable. For press tool designers, CAE analysts, and manufacturing engineers, mastering AutoForm isn't just about learning software; it's about fundamentally changing how work gets done. Here’s why dedicated training delivers a significant return on investment: For a "video tutorial full" experience
This guide provides a comprehensive overview of and serves as a full video tutorial resource, covering everything from fundamental concepts to advanced simulation techniques. What is AutoForm? An Overview
Import your 3D CAD model (typically in STEP, IGES, or native Catia format) and check for gaps, overlaps, or tiny surfaces that could break the mesh.
For a "video tutorial full" experience, the available resources cover everything from basic interface tours to solving complex industrial defects through case studies.
