It allows you to do a really professional roll form design for simple as well as most complex shapes.

It includes functions like...

• COPRA® RF CADFinder Project- and document-archive with revision control
  Please have a look at our recorded Webinar:
  "COPRA® RF 2011 - New Functions"
• COPRA® RF Projects may be parametrical, classic or a wire project
• Profile design with COPRA® RF entities or profile library and AutoCAD - functionality possible
• Integrated browser for easy navigation through the stations with station distance definition
• User defined nomination for the station types
• Definition of station type eg. driven station, intermediate station, accessory station
• Definition of the mechanical material properties
• Control of the COPRA® RF Software via toolbars and/or ribbons
• Possibility to position embossing in profile with automatic update of the complete flower
• Positioning of whole pattern with the help of a 3D whole pattern editor. Modification of the whole pattern alternatively in 2D or 3D with automatic update of the matching part of it. Including the feature “cut across a bend”
  Please have a look at our recorded Webinar:
  "Crimps, Claws and Holes in COPRA® RF 2011"
• Unfolding calculation inclusive all punching length of neutral line is taken into account
• Calculation of static cross section characteristics with consideration of the user defined whole pattern. The mechanical strength properties will be expensed for the lowest cross section.
• Strip width calculation supports multiple methods
• Tabular, fully parametric design of the flower with COPRA® RF SpreadSheet including calculation of the theoretical spring-back, dynamic unfolding copy & paste functionality and so on
• Definition of COPRA® RF bending sequences for automatic profile unfolding

  "Optimising your Flower Pattern with COPRA® RF 2011"
  
• Design of the flat pattern for combination tool sets
• Interactive functions for tube unfolding
• Rolls and profiles can be displayed three dimensional – either all or single stations
• 3D wire model for the calculation of the longitudinal strains (“simulation of the 2nd generation”)
• Also included in M1:
  H3 – COPRA® RF Flower Technology
  
  • Exploded view of the flower with user definable distance and various options
  • Spring back calculation according to Biswas and Oehler
  • Downhill-forming according constant point of gravity and minimal strains
