Stretch Forming Materials and Stock Forms
Supported Material types for the Stretch Forming cost model include aluminum and stainless steel alloys.
If you change the material selection for a given part and re-cost, you must be CAD-connected so that the part’s flat outline can be recalculated and geometry re-extracted. See
Blank GCD for more information.
The Stretch Forming cost model selects sheet stock for a part based on the following:
• Blank thickness
• Length and width of the stretch-direction-aligned bounding box of the part
• Length and width addendum values, specified by cost model variables
