In recent years, with the rapid development of computer software and hardware, the simulation of stamping process (CAE) plays an increasingly important role. In the United States, Japan, Germany and other developed countries, CAE technology has become a necessary part of the mold design and manufacturing process is widely used to predict forming defects, optimizing the stamping process and mold structure, mold design to improve reliability and reduce test time.

Many domestic automobile mold enterprises in the CAE application has also made significant progress, and achieved good results. CAE technology can greatly save the cost of test mode, shorten the development cycle of stamping die, mold has become an important means to ensure quality. CAE technology is gradually changing the mold design from experience design to scientific design.
