Claim One:
1. A method for determining a model of a geometry of a forming stage ( 1 ) in a computer-aided design (CAD)-system, comprising the following steps: defining a first geometry object, which comprises a geometry model of the forming stage ( 1 ) in a first condition; defining an operator for describing a relation between the first geometry object and a second geometry object, which describes the forming stage in a second condition, wherein the operator comprises parameters for describing at least one forming step of the forming stage ( 1 ); and automatic computation of the second geometry object from the first geometry object by way of carrying out an operator method, which by way of the geometry of the forming stage ( 1 ) in the first condition, by way of the parameters of the at least one forming step, and by way of a physical simulation of the at least one forming step, determines a geometry of the forming stage ( 1 ) in the second condition.
