Definition of locations, denoted I–III, close to the arc-shaped tool profile where the parameters in Table 2 were evaluated. Point I: transition from a vertical to an arc-shaped tool profile. Point II: 0.1 mm from middle of the arc profile along a direction 45° from the horizontal. Region III: close to the vertical tool profile just below point I. The image was taken from a simulation of shearing the medium-strength material with two clamps and 0.15h clearance. As length reference, the undeformed element size in the sheet mesh is 0.1 mm
