Introduction to KMAS/Incremental (KMAS Incremental Algorithm):

KMAS/Incremental employs an elastoplastic large deformation finite element algorithm, adaptive mesh refinement technology, an efficient and high-precision contact algorithm suitable for complex tool surfaces, and BT (Belytschko/Tsay)-type shell elements that account for through-thickness shear strain. It can simulate gravity, blank holding, single-stage forming, multi-stage forming, and springback processes, effectively predicting six types of forming defects and enabling process optimization. The simulation considers tool friction and lubrication, material work hardening, material anisotropy, equivalent drawbead resistance, and real drawbead effects.

KMAS/Incremental enables you to:

· Significantly reduce mold development and design time as well as trial mold cycles, thereby lowering costs.
· Rapidly improve the precision of mold design.

Features of KMAS/Incremental:

• Adaptive mesh refinement uses pre-encryption technology to enhance simulation accuracy.
• The adopted BT shell elements balance efficiency and precision, ensuring accurate springback calculations.
