Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 14:
15. The method of claim 1, comprising the steps of
a) automatically generating, based at least on the web primitive elements specified by the user and on a model of the part (3), a simulation model of the combined web (4) and part (3);
b) simulating, by means of a forming process simulation, a sequence of forming processes for forming the parts (3), thereby also simulating forces and displacements acting on the web (4);
c) determining values of one of more objective functions based on results of the forming process simulation;
d) manually or automatically adapting one or more deformability parameters according to the values of the one or more objective functions;
e) iteratively repeating the above steps a) through d).
