ESI Group has announced the launch of PAM-TUBE 2G, a new suite of stamping-simulation software packages that are tailor-made for tube bending and hydro-forming processes. PAM- TUBE 2G supports all stages, from design to product manufacturing.

PAM-TUBE 2G is an intuitive software package, where the user is guided through the different steps of the process. In response to market demand, PAM-TUBE 2G claims accurate tube- bending simulation with realistic tool modelling and behaviour for better forming simulation results, as well as offering coupling capabilities for more accurate product performance assessment.

“ESI Group is engaging in a new phase in its long-term partnership related to advanced tube manufacturing technology” explains Martin Skrikerud, Product Manager at ESI Group. “PAM-TUBE 2G development has benefited from academic and industrial know-how. Thanks to a partnership with the University of Siegen in Germany, and close collaboration with DaimlerChrysler, Audi, Schuler Hydro Forming, buþEngineering GmbH, hde Solutions, Eberspächer and ThyssenKrupp Budd, we've brought a high level of confidence to tube-bending and hydro-forming simulation in a robust product solution for industrial manufacturing.”

PAM-TUBE 2G is a specialised engineering solution, which accelerates development cycles by reducing tube- bending design and hydro-forming costs. It offers a unique environment combining specialised design tools for tube and hydro-forming processes, so that users can concentrate on fast strain and ovalisation predictions, automatic addendum design and welding considerations for mass production, instead of having to deal with software issues. This solution offers extensive functionalities, including distributed parallel processing for bending, an annealing option, and multistage macro templates.
