Forming and Joining Simulation with Ansys Mechanical
Mastering Multistage Forming and Joining Simulations
Ideal for engineers who want to understand and optimize forming processes and formed components, including their forming history. This training is offered as a 1-day course.
Duration
1 day
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of Ansys Mechanical
Software used
Ansys Mechanical
- Increase the accuracy of your forming simulations
- Apply expert features such as automatic remeshing
- Learn the consistent handling of multistage forming processes
- Benefit from hands-on workshops and expert tips
Description
Those who simulate multistage forming processes for the first time will quickly realize that it involves more than just linking analysis systems on the project schematic. Additionally, large distortions often occur, preventing the mesh from being used until the end of the simulation. In this seminar, we equip you with the knowledge needed to successfully analyze and optimize forming processes and components, including their forming history. This includes background knowledge on suitable material models, the definition of automatic remeshing, and the transfer of plastic strain and stress states from one analysis to another. Apply this knowledge directly in the classic of forming technology, the deep drawing analysis of a cup, or a two-stage bending test. Your training is rounded off with tips and tricks on element selection as well as contact and analysis settings.
The seminar is aimed at engineers who already have basic knowledge of Ansys Mechanical and an understanding of nonlinear effects such as contact and metal plasticity.
