Ansys Forming - Sheet Metal Forming Simulation Software
Ansys Forming is all-in-one sheet metal forming simulation software. It designs and validates every step of the stamping process digitally in a single platform, from early feasibility to detailed die design, reducing die cuts and redesigns.
Powered by the LS-DYNA solver, it monitors each stage with presets for feasibility, formability and springback.
Ansys Forming 2026 R1
- Report Generation: PowerPoint reports built automatically from simulation data using predefined templates.
- Robustness Analysis: ranks how material properties, blank position and process parameters affect the results.
- Solid Element Enhancements: better accuracy for thick blanks and bend radii smaller than the blank thickness.

Multistage Forming, Trimming and Lancing
Complete die processes are simulated end to end, including multistage forming and lancing or forming cuts, in a streamlined interface designed for stamping engineers.
Formability and Springback Prediction
Thinning, splits, wrinkles and springback are predicted before tooling is cut, so die faces and process settings can be corrected on screen.
Common Sheet Metal Forming Consultation Topics
- Formability feasibility: split, thinning and wrinkling risk for new parts.
- Springback: prediction and compensation.
- Die process planning: forming stages, trimming and lancing.
- Material comparison: steel and aluminium grades for a part.
