Die Face Design

Die Face Design and feasibility/formability simulation fully integrated into CATIA V5
ESI Group's CATIA V5 PLM based metal forming portfolio provides die designers with a powerful set
of engineering solutions which addresses design and manufacturing issues directly within a powerful
generative modeling PLM environment:
PAM-TFA for CATIA V5 stands for Transparent Formability Analysis integrated into the CATIA V5
environment. It is a powerful inverse solver, offering up front part feasibility and part costing
solutions.
PAM-DIEMAKER for CATIA V5 is a fully integrated workbench inside the CATIA V5 environment
(including a seamless link to simulation) dedicated to die face design. It guides the user through the
die face design process (tipping, binder design, addendum design, trimline development, ...) with
powerful and trade-oriented functionalities, from upfront feasibility studies to full final validation.

KEY BENEFITS:
Super fast Die surface engineering based on B-spline geometry
Two operation modes: Product development (feasibility) or tooling
You work in CATIA with a CATIA database
You can use PAM-DIEMAKER or native CATIA functions
No more hold when you need to modify the part geometry
Fast and robust part replace
Direct link with PAM-STAMP and highly automated data transfer
Fastest solver in the market, for feasibility as well as formability (make the test!)
Best simulation quality in the market

Customer Successes
"For SEATs Prototype Center of Development (CPD), the release of tools integrated into CATIA
V5 such as PAM-DIEMAKER for CATIA V5, allows a rapid and accurate development of die
design. It is very valuable to be able to perform the appropriate geometrical changes and to
have these evolutions simultaneously available for machining within CATIA.
This represents a tremendous advantage in terms of productivity as well as for the final quality
of our design, giving us the opportunity to perform our work in a common environment
during all process phases."
Javier Diaz Martinez,Manager of the Prototype Center ofDevelopment (CPD), SEAT S.A.

"The simulation tool PAM-DIEMAKER for CATIA V5 gave us the opportunity to perform all the
steps of our work in a single environment during all phases of the development process. This
brought us more speed for our cost estimation analysis, with precise blank sizing and
formability simulations. We are finally more competitive when we present an offer to our
clients, having strong arguments with a quality guaranteed."
Vladimir B. Ferreira Jr.,Tech Center, Tower Automotive, Brasil
