data M at the EuroBlech 2018 in Hanover

data M introduces new function “ Automatic Report ” for COPRA ® FEA RF 2019
The Bavarian company data M is introducing their new versions of COPRA ® RF and COPRA ® FEA RF at EuroBLECH 2018 with various improvements , particularly the newly developed feature “ Automatic Report ”. This tool shortens the complete verification procedure , providing project managers as well as designers with an abundance of data about the simulated roll forming process .
Managing director Albert Sedlmaier is looking forward to meeting new and existing customers at EuroBLECH : “ For years , data M has been developing soft and hardware solutions meant for process optimization and efficiency enhancement . The new releases and especially the new feature Automatic Report are further steps in this direction ”.
With various auxiliary functions and customizable templates , COPRA ® FEA RF 2019 allows for significant time saving . Although simulation times are reduced due to powerful CPUs , evaluation time for designers is increasing with complex projects . The templates facilitate quick and automated breakdown of results , provide numerous analysing possibilities and help with establishing a company standard .
COPRA ® FEA RF 2019 pre-processes the results of the simulation geared to the respective target group , enabling the project manager to keep track or the designer to select detailed result quantities due to the reproducible templates . There is even a tailored report for the operator . By this approach , the simulation becomes the “ digital twin ” of the roll forming machine , providing detailed insights into the manufacturing process .
If requested , all evaluation parameter of interest will be broken down to each individual station . Particularly the designers - usually focusing on specific result quantities- will be called to attention by other important values . The “ Automatic Reports ” can still be standardized as desired by the customer and thus facilitate comparisons of different simulations .
Designers can mark coated areas of a cross section in COPRA ® RF 2019 .
