The Visual Basic was used to design the user interface of stamping,and the analysis software ABAQUS was used to establish the finite element model of plate stamping and simulate its forming process. The situation of its stress, strain and thickness could be obtained during the stamping process.  The reseach about the influence of the friction coefficient between plate and concave mold was paid more attention. The results show that the friction coefficient should not be too big or too little, but moderation would be reasonable, since it could ensure the plate enough deformation and avoid the problems, such as wrinkling, fracture and spring back. The simulation could provide a valuable theory reference for stamping, reduce the number of experiments, improve the productivity and save costs.
