The multi-step forward finite element method is presented for the numerical simulation of multi-step sheet metal forming. The traditional constitutive relationship is modified according to the multi-step forming processes, and double spreading plane based mapping method is used to obtain the initial solutions of the intermediate configurations. To verify the multi-step forward FEM, the two-step simulation of a stepped box deep-drawing part is carried out as it is in the experiment. The comparison with the results of the incremental FEM and test shows that the multi-step forward FEM is efficient for the numerical simulation of multi-step sheet metal forming processes.

Numerical simulation by finite element method has become a powerful tool in predicting and preventing the unwanted effects of sheet metals technological processing. One of the most important problems in sheet metal forming is the compensation of springback. To improve the accuracy of the formed parts, the die surfaces are required to be optimized so that after springback the geometry falls at the expected shape. This paper presents and discusses numerical simulation procedure of die compensation by using the methods of Simplified Displacement Adjustment (SDA). This analysis use Benchmark 3 models of Numisheet 2011. Sensitively analysis was done by using finite element method (FEM) show that the springback values are influenced by element size, integration points and material properties.
