Numerical simulations are used for process planning of various manufacturing technologies and methods. These simulations are also used in the automotive industry, where currently sharp edges and geometries of small dimensions are used on various car-body parts to fulfil a design function or a function of a specific character. This article deals with the problematics and evaluation of simulations of forming small, sharp geometries and the application and verification of one of the basic laws of plastic deformation - the law of similarity in AutoForm software, which is often used for the planning of car-body parts manufacturing.
