On the Relevance of Modeling Options in ABAQUS Regarding the Spinning Process Simulation
摘要
Spinning processes are incremental forming processes whose numerical modeling involves several difficulties related to the high rotational speed of the workpiece and very localized roller-workpiece contact area. Based on a shear spinning model, some major modeling options in Abaqus® finite element software are investigated, after a prior comparison of the simulation results from Abaqus® and Forge®. Conclusions are drawn regarding results accuracy and computational cost. The relevance of the tested options is thereafter discussed.
