Verification of the component accuracy prediction obtained by physical modelling and the elastic simulation of the die/component interaction

There are three demands on a component that must undergo a die-cavity elast icity analysis. The demands to the product are specified as: (i) to be able to measure the loading profile which results in elastic die-cavity deflect ions, (ii) to be able to compute the elastic deflections using FE; (iii) co mpensating the elastic deflection must lead to closer product tolerances an d thus a higher-value product.
