This feature allows the user to edit the default QUICK SETUP settings, including the gap, load curve, output frames and drawbead control. The dialog window is shown in Figure 8.2.4.
Figure 8.2.4 Quick Setup Setting Dialog Window.
GAP CONTROL allows the user to set the tooling gap and clearance between the tooling and blank. The user can select either an absolute or percentage value. The default setting for die gap and clearance is 0.10 (110% of blank thickness) and 0.50 (50% of blank thickness). For example, if the blank thickness is 1.00 mm, the tooling gap and clearance will be 1.10 mm and 0.50 mm, respectively.
The load curve setting enables the user to define the slopes of the velocity load curve and lower binder travel limitation of four-piece draw simulation.
The user can define the output frames of each stage. The default settings for wrap, stretch and punch frames are 5, 5 and 10, respectively.
The drawbead control enables the user to define drawbead force threshold and drawbead height. As shown in Figure 8.2.4, the default drawbead threshold for BFT1 and BFT2 are set at 30% and 80%, respectively. The drawbead height will be determined by the BFT1 and BFT2. For example, if the drawbead force is less than 30%, the stepbead height will be implemented in the draw simulation.
AUTO-POSITION enables the user to set the fixed tool after the user clicks the APPLY button to do the AUTO-POSITION operation etc.
