Accuracy Assessment of Plastic Metal Flow Modeling in Commercial Finite Element Software
摘要
Abstract
Results of a study on the accuracy of mathematical modeling of plastic metal flow using the finite element method implemented in various software products are reported. The shortcomings of the finite element method and their impact on the description of deformation processes occurring during intensive shape change of workpieces are studied. Particular attention is paid to the study of regions with complex metal flow. The parameters of real products are compared with the results of mathematical modeling obtained using MSC Simufact.Forming, Transvalor Forge, SFTC DeForm, and QForm. Evidently, the results of mathematical modeling obtained using these software products in the study of complex metal flow are sufficiently accurate.
