Tube bending is an important factor of the hydroforming processes. The tube must be bent to the approximate centerline of the finished part prior to hydroforming to enable the tube to be placed in the die cavity. This paper presents the simulation results in prebending process by a rotary bending machne and a bend die that is used to form an automotive part a tie bar, Prebending simulation is carried out to obtain the shape change of cross section and thinning in bending process. To avoid occurring wrinkle in compressive zone during bending process a wiper die included,. A parametric study is carried out to obtain the effect of the forming parameters such as a bend radius and tube thickness
