Stamping

Key Highlights of Keysight Stamping 2026.0

New Forming & Process Capabilities

• Tailor Welded Blanks (TWB) definition at the blank stage with independent material and thickness zones
• Tool scaling to compensate for springback without returning to CAD
• Kinematic check for instant validation of tool strokes and motion sequences
• Compensation “ignore zones” to prevent downstream operations from influencing compensated tool geometry
• Robustness analysis via strategic integration with Return On Data (CAPY-Q.Form)

Improved User Experience

• Complete interface redesign with a modern look & feel
• More intuitive interaction and higher productivity
• No workflow changes and no retraining required

Faster Turnaround Time

• Major GUI performance improvements, enabling near-instant interaction even for large models
• Enhanced Virtual Light Room performance for faster cosmetic defect assessment
• New automatic PowerPoint reporting with one-click image and video export using customizable templates

Increased Predictive Confidence

• Improved edge crack prediction with edge strain computation
• New maximum failure risk contour to detect forming limit violations across the entire forming cycle
   

We are excited to announce the release of the first industrial version of Keysight CAE Stamping, now available for download. Designed specifically for the automotive industry, BM-Stamp supports key stamping processes, including line/transfer die and hot forming.

This cutting-edge solution delivers the highest level of predictive confidence in simulation results, thanks to the advanced physics of the integrated Sheet Metal Forming (PAM-STAMP) solver, which has been industrially proven for over 25 years in the market.

What sets Keysight CAE Stamping apart is its seamless integration with a highly intuitive and user-friendly graphical interface, making it easy for every engineer to generate high-quality simulation results effortlessly.

The combination of a robust, accurate solver with an efficient graphical interface significantly reduces lead time by further minimizing risk during physical tryouts, and as such cutting down on iteration loops. This results in substantial savings in both cost and time during the crucial, high-risk stage of manufacturing.

Stamping is the perfect solution to help you optimize your stamping manufacturing processes, providing the confidence you need to succeed.

Stamping 2023.6 is the latest release of Keysight CAE Automotive Stamping solution in Visual-Environment. Please refer to the release notes to know more about all the enhancements in this version

Stamping is the latest addition to the Keysight CAE Manufacturing Suite. It has been developed to efficiently support the most common sheet metal manufacturing processes in the automotive industry (line die/transfer die, progressive die, hotforming).

Being integrated in the VISUAL platform, Keysight CAE is now offering a complete AUTOMOTIVE solution in a single environment for the chain, starting with single part manufacturing (sheet metal forming, composites, casting), continuing with the assembly of these parts into (sub-) assemblies (welding, riveting, gluing,…) and final performance testing under realistic conditions (crash, durability, ergonomics,..), taking into account dimensional and cosmetic quality at each stage.

This first release of Stamping is addressing the line die process (cold forming) and supports the user through a powerful, state-of-the-art graphical interface with many intuitive functionalities to effectively setup even the most complicated processes in few minutes. The entire setup is purely done on CAD geometry (no more meshing concerns!) and requires only process related input parameters.

The defined process layout will be automatically converted to simulation data based on pre-defined templates, offering the possibility to set company standards. These templates can be easily shared with suppliers, ensuring consistent simulation results for specific parts and/or processes. Simulations are performed with the long-time industrially proven Sheet Metal Forming (PAM-STAMP) solver, to ensure the highest result quality and thus the best predictive confidence.
