    FEA for stretch requirements between flat pattern and formed pattern

    Thanks. I'm looking for aluminum wing skins. So with package would you suggest that show the matl streching required to reach the form model from the flat pattern model? Thanks in advance.

    FEA for stretch requirements between flat pattern and formed pattern

    Anyone can recommend a simple FEA package that will let me compare the flat pattern of a part (ex: wing skin of a aircraft) and compare it against the final formed model to know how much stretch it required and where by creating a strain map? Thanks in advance, Francois Gregoire
