Metal Forming Analysis Corporation

MFAC is the Canadian distributor for LS-DYNA, a general purpose finite element code. We also sell DYNAFORM, which is a bundled software package incorporating LS-DYNA for conducting sheet forming simulations.

Chris Galbraith worked at Alcan International Ltd. prior to starting up the Metal Forming Analysis Corporation. He has pioneered a number of enhancements for modeling sheet forming which have been included in LS-DYNA. He has presented and lectured extensively on sheet metal forming simulations using LS-DYNA. His work with Alcan on automotive sheet metal stamping simulations garnered two COMPUTERWORLD-SMITHSONIAN AWARD Nominations in the manufacturing category and was selected as one of five finalists in this category in 1995 and 1996.
