Abstract
A forming sheet metal part () for a vehicle frame includes: a first portion () being locally heat-softened after the sheet metal part () has been formed out. The part () further includes a dedicated three-dimensional distortion-absorbing area (), defining an internal boundary () within which the first portion () is to be locally heat-softened after the sheet metal part () has been formed out. The distortion-absorbing area () is dimensioned such that once said locally heat-softening step has been performed, the internal boundary () is adjacent to the first portion () and encloses the first portion () to absorb the dimensional distortions induced by the locally heat-softened first portion. The invention further relates to a method for producing a forming sheet metal part ().
