panel forming is taken into account in this paper, as shown in
Fig. 6, which is of certain geometric complexity and whose form-
ability is critical yet problematical. Although the parameters of
the addendum surface have a great influence on the material flow,
it is very difficult and time consuming to adjust addendum surface
to improve sheet metal formability. Fortunately, the introduction
of drawbead can facilitate the control of the rate of metal flow in
the forming process. According to engineering experience, the
addendum surface of the die is predesigned, as shown in Fig. 7.
In fact, the drawbead restraining force can be different in different
areas. For this reason, the drawbead line is divided into three seg- Fig. 8. The layout of the drawbead.
