This paper describes the capability of the binder analysis in Ford's three dimensional sheet metal forming program. Three real design examples illustrate that the program could detect buckling/wrinkling in auto-body panels during binder set (wrap). With revision of the binder surface design, the program predicted buckling/wrinkling on those panels disappeared. The computing time for each evaluation of the binder set of a panel is in order of minutes on a super workstation; therefore, it has been used as a design analysis tool.
