Abstract: In a method, a data processing system and a computer program for the configuration of tools and/or processes for the manufacturing of formed metal parts, raw data (r) for the description of a geometry and of a condition of a formed metal part are calculated from a set of nominal simulation parameters (d,n) through the simulation of a metal forming process. From a set of nominal simulation parameters (d,n) in a simulation run a set of raw data is calculated and saved, the preceding step is repeated several times with a variation of the simulation parameters (d,n), and as a result of this further sets of raw data (r) are generated and saved, and a statistical analysis (10) of several or of all the saved sets of raw data (r) is carried throughout for the purpose of calculating statistical characteristic values (Cr) of the raw data (r).
