The static implicit finite element method has been effectively applied to analyze total cowl top otr panel stamping processes, which include the forming stage. Complicated and abnormal large size cowl top otr panel was analyzed by using commercial program called AutoForm. Analysis results examining possibility and validity of the AutoForm software and the factor study are presented. Furthermore, the simulated results for the total cowl top otr panel stamping processes are shown and discussed. Its application is being increased especially in the automotive industry for the cost reduction, weight saving, and improvement of strength.
