The QuickSetup/Gravity
Loading GUI leads the user through the setup procedure for gravity loading
simulation. A typical Gravity Loading GUI consists of Draw Type, tool
definition (Blank, Binder and Lower Tool), Blank Parameters, Solve Option and Control
as shown in Figure 9.2.1.

DRAW TYPE
Enable
the user to select one of the four standard draw operations provided in QuickSetup
GUI.
TOOL DEFINITION GUI
Define
the tool and blank for a gravity loading simulation.
BLANK PARAMETERS
Define
blank material and properties.
SOLVE OPTIONS
The user may select either the Explicit
or Implicit method for a gravity loading simulation. The Explicit method
requires a longer simulation time than the Implicit method, but it provides
good reliability. There are three Solve options: Explicit (Dynamic Relaxation),
Implicit (Dynamic) and Implicit (Static). The Implicit (Static) method is
recommended. When the Implicit (Static) method is selected, the solver will be
defaulted to be double precision.
CONTROL
Define the initial velocity of blank.
