Coupling between PAM-FORM and PAM-RTM: multiple part mapping
Coupling between PAM-FORM 2G and PAM-RTM is done through a .DSY file. Thus, pre-forming process is simulated with PAM-FORM 2G and resulting fiber orientations that will affect permeabilities are transferred to PAM-RTM model setup.

Model clipping feature in CFD-VisCART and CFD-GEOM
For better visualization of the geometry and mesh, a model clipping feature was introduced in CFD-VisCART and CFD-GEOM V2013.0. The following sections illustrate the usage and benefits of this feature.

Improve Productivity Using Scripts [Video Format]
As simulations become more integrated with the design process, engineers often spend time on repeated operations that do not contribute to their productivity. There is a need for tools that could capture, preserve and transfer the knowledge within the organization or to its customers.

How to fix grey selection window in PAM-STAMP GUI ?
Using default setup of AERO themes in Windows 7 and Vista creates problems for selection by window in PAM-STAMP GUI. There are instructions how to setup your Windows to avoid that problem.

Make an independent setup from existing pre and rst files in PAM-STAMP
Sometimes only rst files there are available and dependent pre file of an intermediate stage setup (lost data, picking with a process variant, …), which is not possible to run in another PAM-STAMP version, usually in newer version. It is possible to create a pre file independent on preceding rst files.

Determination of Krupkowsky parameters for hardening curve
In case there are no measured material data for simulation purposes, it is possible to determine hardening curve from information usually provided by material supplier.

How to import a PAM-STAMP result into CATIA V5 with VRML export format ?
For a comparison of the virtual stamped part and the nominal CATIA V5 part one can use PAM-STAMP, or go back to CATIA. Since the meshed part is not easily converted into surfaces again, one solution is to use an overlay of the CAD part and of a VRML export of the stamp part.

How to encrypt material data sets in PAM-STAMP?
Major automotive companies spend a lot of money to describe all materials used in their simulation processes. To ensure simulation quality also at supplier sites, they want to give the material data sets to them, but not for free. One half of the solution is material encryption, the other a predefined expiration date.

Boundary layer meshing with CFD-ACE+ [video format]
The accuracy of a CFD solution is strongly dependent on how well the mesh resolves geometry and flow features. This is especially true for near wall regions (boundary layer) where viscous forces are not negligible compared to inertial forces.
