Our colleagues from the Institute of Vehicle System Technology (FAST) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) as well as our co-founder Dominik are contributing to this year’s and first virtual ESAFORM conference through several publications.
The basic framework for composite forming simulation adopted for these publications was implemented at KIT-FAST and is now being industrialized by SIMUTENCE under the product name SimuDrape within a license agreement with KIT.
It’s impressing to see the different further developments and how the limits of composite forming simulation are pushed.
