Material thinning information
(Standard Output) :

This is a standard output that is always included with every simulation job,
unless the customer decides it is not required. It may not be included as an
output if the formability result shows failure, since the material has thinned
infinitely at the failure location.

This output predicts the expected amount of thinning (and thickening) of
material in a sheet metal forming process, as a percentage of the
original sheet thickness.

For example, if this result shows a value of -0.10 this means the material
has thinned by 10% of the original sheet thickness at that location.
