In a method for the numerical simulation of sheet-metal-forming processes, forming simulation parameters are visually displayed by:● maintaining active values (1) of the simulation-program-control parameters and standard values (2) of the parameters that can be, used as a reference;● determining a status of each parameter as being "noncompliant" if and only if the active value of the parameter is not equal to the standard value of the parameter;● grouping parameters into display groups (dg1-dg4), and determining the status of a display group as being "noncompliant" if and only if the status of at least one of the parameters or other display groups assigned to the display group is "noncompliant";● displaying, on a display device (10), GUI elements showing the active values (2) of the parameters, and GUI elements associated with a display group; and● displaying, for each of the GUI elements, a visual indication of the status of the corresponding parameter or display group.
