COSTOPTIMIZER provides CATIA users with a fast and accurate method for developing blank shapes and coil nests, and makes recommendations to alter stamped component designs for cost reduction. It is specifically designed for purchasers, planners, estimators, engineers, account managers, and tool and die designers.

COSTOPTIMIZER Advanced provides CATIA users with a fast and accurate method for verifying formability, developing blank shapes and coil nests, and for identifying product design changes that lead to substantial material cost reduction. The advanced capabilities make the solution ideally suited to product and process engineers, as well as purchasers, planners, estimators and account managers.

PROGNEST is powerful nesting software specifically designed for nesting sheet metal blanks on progressive die strips. It automatically calculates the best nesting layout to optimize material utilization based on coil width and pitch constraints.

CATNEST is powerful nesting software specifically designed for nesting sheet metal blanks on coils. It automatically calculates the best nesting layout to optimize material utilization based on coil width and pitch constraints.

CATBLANK provides CATIA users with a fast and accurate method for developing optimal blank shapes. CATBLANK accounts for material stretch and deformation. It is specifically designed for estimators, engineers, account managers, and tool and die designers.

CATFORM provides CATIA V5 users with fast formability analysis for evaluation and validation of stamped components. Formability analysis is based on component geometry and accounts for material properties, friction, and blankholder force. CATFORM determines if a component can be stamped consistently with minimum cost, while fulfilling all product performance requirements. CATFORM is fully integrated into Dassault Systèmes’ PLM environment.

CATSTAMP provides CATIA V5 users with detailed formability analysis for evaluation and validation of stamped components and draw developments. Formability analysis is based on component or die geometry and accounts for material properties, friction, blankholder force, pressure pad, drawbeads, curved binder, and displacement constraints. CATSTAMP determines if a component can be stamped consistently with minimum cost, while fulfilling all product performance requirements. CATSTAMP is fully integrated into Dassault Systèmes’ PLM environment.

In order to minimize die development time guaranteeing expected product quality,
key issues are how to ultimately shorten each constituent process with sufficient quality evaluation
and how to associate processes for enabling simultaneous work and for preventing rework.
Die design knowledge based application functions, various evaluation in design phase
such as machinability, formability, and semi-automatic design change propagation of Dynavista
strongly support innovation of die development.
