KMAS/Unfold (KMAS Blank Development) Function Overview:

A physics-based blank development module that automatically calculates the optimal blank shape and size based on the flow and deformation of metal sheets in molds, providing a comprehensive solution for the metal sheet forming industry. This module employs a one-step forming algorithm to quickly generate the unfolded shape of the blank. By utilizing the rigid constraint feature, non-bend areas are excluded from calculations, saving operation time.

KMAS/Unfold enables you to:
· Perform rapid blank analysis

Utilizing physics-based analysis methods, it accounts for various physical effects during sheet deformation, delivering more realistic results. Fully parametric feature operations allow for automatic updates and free modifications.

Key Features of KMAS/Unfold:

• Based on UGS NX system
• Supports partial unfolding
• Rapidly unfolds bent flanges of parts
• Provides a foundation for further nesting
• Automatically generates the base surface of the developed blank
• Unfolding results exist as features, enabling automatic updates and free editing
• Multiple display modes for easy observation and operation
• Simultaneously unfolds adjacent simple bends for quick flange development of parts
