For the efficient virtual try-out loop, geometric change and bending angles have been compensated during last 20 years. This approach was based on some restrictions like pure bending, plane strain state and isotropic behavior. For more complex forming processes, this has been applied without reviewing this limitation. Analytical force consideration to reduce the amount of springback is also another idea to compensate geometrical displacement adjustment efficiently. In other view, the springback prediction accuracy is also one major topic with various material model developments. All these topics are absolutely of high importance in order to increase springback accuracy and effective compensation to help reduce the trials efforts. But the focus should not only be on these advances issues since the basics must be right as well. Based on our long term experiences in simulation and several project outcomes covered 20 different parts during last 2 years, we will present our experience and investigations in order to geometrically compensate forming process. It is emphasized that we did not just simulate the springback but the compensated surfaces where brought into the real tools. So, the experiences are not only based on numerical analysis but of all this part a physical tryout has been performed as well. The experiences are consolidated in a set of principles of robust springback compensation. These principles will be illustrated and explained at an example part, a B-pillar upper reinforcement. Indeed, it is can be seen that that compensation is a straight forward activity. However, our experiences have shown that it is only a straight forward activity in case certain 'boundary conditions are fulfilled. We will discuss some of this boundary condition using the B-pillar upper example. Through this study, basic requirements for successful springabck compensation, the full scope of simulation range, set-up the nominal springback simulation and robustness of forming process will be clearly described to help understanding practical meanings of springback accuracy and strategic compensation.
