5 AutoFormTrim
With the current version 3.1 you can only calculate outer cut contours, no hole contours or inner cut contours.
The accuracy of the calculation of the blank outline and the cut contour depends on the chordal deviation of the FEA model for the
tools and the part.

The simulation
Open the sim file tr_lesson_01_basis.sim
File > Open ... > Select a file > Files: tr_lesson_01_basis.sim > OK
Fig. 1.1
Trim calculation
Open the Input generator and create Trim:
Input generator > Create > Trim
www.forum.alghaform.com
Create Trim
Then youve got a new page in the Input generator called Trim.

Trim
(To select both Curve 1 and 2, first select curve 1 and then select
curve 2 while pressing the Ctrl key)
Max # of iterations: 5
We have to define the maximum number of iterations (maximum
number of simulations)
Max deviation: 1.2
We have to define the maximum deviation (mm) of the cutting contour from the target boundary.
