RT Journal Article T1 Development of software for easy prediction of process parameters in air bending with local heating A1 Canteli Fernández, José Antonio A1 Cantero Guisández, José Luis A1 Miguélez Garrido, María Henar AB This paper presents a new software tool for sheet metal forming, based on an analytical model of the process. The advantages of this kind of tool, compared with numerical models based on finite element codes, are described. The analysis is focused on sheet metal bending at high temperature that is a promising method for metal forming, improving sheet formability and machines range of use.
