OAKVILLE, ON, Canada, Sep 11, 2008 - Forming Technologies Inc. (FTI) the industry’s leading developer of solutions for design, simulation, and costing of sheet metal components, announces the release of FormingSuite FAST Incremental. FAST Incremental is a powerful explicit incremental analysis tool based on the tried and proven LSTC LS-Dyna solver. It is the only associative and regenerative incremental solution on the market today and is the latest technology advancement from Forming Technologies Inc.

“FAST Incremental is one of the most powerful tools available for incremental simulation for the final design and validation process,” said Michael Gallagher, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, FTI. “We are very excited to offer this solution to our clients. The fact that FAST Incremental is integrated within our FormingSuite environment will allow our current clients the familiarity and ease of use that they are accustomed to. FAST Incremental offers many new advanced features such as automatic blank size, shape and location, automatic process setup, and automatic binder closing and wrap that will save many tedious hours.”

FAST Incremental provides a multitude of unparallel enhancements such as:

Binder wrap calculation based on inverse technology
Automated tool extraction from provided part geometries
Analysis controlled through FormingSuite graphical user environment
Pre- and Post-Processing is done in a single, intuitive to use environment
Project / Template driven approach allows analysis to be run in batch mode
Fully associative and regenerative to drastically reduce downstream design changes.
Based on LSTCs‘ LSDyna solver

“We designed FAST Incremental by working closely with our customers who were looking for something easier to use and quicker compared to what is currently available today on the market” adds Gallagher. “FAST Incremental offers the ease of use, speed and accuracy, and the flexibility of one environment for product design, costing, and engineering departments. The CAD like look and feel is to insure excellent data navigation as well as the user is always informed on the status of the analysis at any given time.”
