Hello everyone,

I am trying to perform a bending simulation for a 4 mm thick sheet metal part using SIMULIA on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, but I am struggling to set up the correct workflow.

The goal is to simulate the bending process on an Abkant press, including realistic material behavior and springback prediction. I would appreciate your advice on:

• Which SIMULIA app or approach is best suited for press brake bending?
• Recommended steps for defining material properties, contact conditions, and boundary conditions.
• Any tutorials or documentation that specifically cover sheet metal bending or press brake simulations.

Thank you in advance for your help!
I will attach a short video showing the bending process for reference& 3dxml
