Abstract (EN): The numerical simulation of sheet metal forming processes is extensively used for the analysis and the design of industrial parts avoiding the long and expensive experimental tryout procedures. This paper presents a new computational method coupling a finite element forming simulation and an evolutionary algorithm, in order to optimise process parameters of sheet metal forming. The forming analysis is performed by a commercial code and the evolutionary algorithm is described here. Applications are presented to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method considering several relevant parameters including punch and die radii, punch and die angles and blank-holder force.
