TopSolid’Progress 2008: The dedicated CAD solution for progressive die and press tool designers.
In addition to incorporating all those functions standard to TopSolid, TopSolid’Progress enables the successful blanking of a sheet metal part and the design of the strip in half the time needed by a standard CAD software. The software manages all cutting, folding and deforming stages of the sheet metal, creation of the die set, addition of standard components together with their machining processes, creation of punches, non-standard matrices and draft creation. Discover the principal improvements of the 2008 version, among the many new functions this version has to offer.

Part preparation / Unfolding

Numerous improvements in the treatment of local unfolding operations
Copy an imported folded part with symmetry or rotation

Strip creation

Management of the strip in the X+ or X- direction
Strip creation from 3D to 2D for the treatment of complex parts
Strip creation without adding matter for the design of transfer tools

Strip creation operations

Keep strip losses generated in cutting operations
Possibility to determine the depth of manual cutting operations (semi-punching)
Move some pieces of the part (folding / unfolding / free movement)

Tools

Redefined force analysis function

Die bases

Catalogues of standard die bases in Excel format

Components

Important improvement in performances (components server)
Component bookmarks or favorites
Component configuration by default depending on component properties
Process activation can be set off on an auxiliary shape
Enriched standard libraries

Tools and dies

Table of predefined diameters to round automatically the dimensions of the circular removals
Composite surface to design forming punches and stamping dies

Methodology

Team Design Wizard to work in collaborative mode. Manage the sharing of common elements and sub-assemblies and the re-assembly of all elements at the end

Draft creation

Open book projection mode in vertical direction
Automatic creation of drilling tables during multi-draft creation

Local unstamping: you can now easily manage intermediary stages
