Method for determining springback-compensated effective geometries for forming tools which are provided for the purpose of producing a formed part (S') by means of a sequence of multiple consecutive forming operations (OP20, OP40; D20, F40), having the computer-aided steps a) to z), and having step z10): a) simulating a first forming operation (OP20, D20) in the sequence, wherein a workpiece representing the formed part (S') is received on an effective surface (W0_20) of a first tool representing a first forming tool and is elastically-plastically formed, and wherein an elastically sprung-back first springback geometry of the workpiece that is subsequently present is determined; b) adapting at least one further tool which is provided for use in a further forming operation (OP40, F40) in the sequence following the first forming operation (OP20, D20) and represents a further forming tool, wherein an effective surface (W0_40) of the at least one further tool is adapted at least in sections in the direction of the elastic springback on the basis of the first springback geometry in order to minimize a workpiece positional error when receiving the previously formed and elastically sprung-back workpiece on the at least one further tool; c) simulating at least the one further forming operation (OP40, F40) in the sequence, wherein the previously formed and elastically sprung-back workpiece is formed on the effective surface (W1_40) adapted at least in sections for minimizing the workpiece positional error, and wherein an elastically sprung-back further springback geometry of the workpiece that is subsequently present is determined; d) determining a geometric deviation of the workpiece, wherein a zero geometry of the workpiece, which is desired after the at least one further forming operation (OP40, F40), is compared with the elastically sprung-back further springback geometry and a deviation variable is determined on the basis of the comparison; e) adapting the first tool, wherein the effective surface (W0_20) of the first tool is adapted on the basis of the deviation variable in order to minimize the geometric deviation of the workpiece; f) adapting the at least one further tool, wherein the effective surface (W1_40) of the at least one further tool that was previously adapted according to step b), in addition to minimizing the geometric deviation of the workpiece, is adapted directly and immediately on the basis of the deviation variable counter to the direction of the elastic springback; z) defining the adapted effective surfaces (W1_20, W2_40) of the tools (Z1, Z2) as springback-compensated effective geometries of the respectively represented forming tool, and z10) manufacturing the forming tool and/or the at least one further forming tool, with the formation of the respectively defined springback-compensated effective geometry. a) simulating a first forming operation (OP20, D20) in the sequence, wherein a workpiece representing the formed part (S') is received on an effective surface (W0_20) of a first tool representing a first forming tool and is elastically-plastically formed, and wherein an elastically sprung-back first springback geometry of the workpiece that is subsequently present is determined;
