The drawing process of the front side panel of autobody is simulated by using the finite element software, Dynaform. The drawing surface is designed, focusing on the optimization of the addendum and the drawbead layout. By comparing the stress/strain conditions and the FLD in two types of addendum (stepped and slope) and three types of drawbead layout (closed, discontinuous and oblique drawbead), the slope addendum is chosen as the optimized addendum and the oblique drawbead is chosen as the optimized drawbead layout. The simulation results show the material flow in the corner and the quality of the part can be improved effectively with the optimized drawing surface. The optimized parameters are employed in production and acceptable quality parts are produced. Therefore, the optimized drawing surface is verified to be effective.
