**4. Analysis of Push-Bending with Partial Cross-Sectional Heating and the Resulting Geometry**

The effects of the partial heating strategy are evaluated in this chapter. First, the influence on the product geometry is investigated by examining the unloaded geometry. After that, the position of the plastic zone is determined. Finally, the influence of the partial heating strategy on bending load and warping angle is investigated to understand the mechanisms in the process.
