The menu of AutoSetup illustrated in Figure 8.1 consists of Sheet Forming, Tube Forming, Rotary Bending, Roller Hemming and Superplastic Forming. Preparation prepares the analysis model. Sheet Forming completes various setup for blank forming analysis, including laser tailor-welded blank, laminated sheet, thermal forming, hydroforming and multi-stage forming. Tube Forming sets up hydroforming for tube. Superplastic Forming provides a quick setup interface for superplastic forming simulation. Rotary Bending performs multi-stage bending simulation on tube. Roller Hemming sets up simulation for robot roller hemming process. These modules help the user to complete the setup step by step according to the practical process.

For different simulation modules, the program will label the menu of the analysis setup module with bold font to indicate the current setup module.
