Metal Forming with Abaqus
Objective:
Metal forming processes are highly nonlinear because they
involve geometric, material, and contact nonlinearities.
Therefore, simulating these processes numerically can be a
difficult task. However, numerical simulations of forming
processes present advantages that outweigh the difficulties.
Numerical simulation can reduce both the cost and length
of a product development cycle by identifying potential
forming problems prior to tooling fabrication and reducing
the time and cost associated with tooling rework.
Numerical simulation can also improve the quality of the
part being manufactured through testing to ensure that the
manufacturing processes appropriately account for
springback and stretching of the parts.
Using lectures and hands-on workshops, the seminar
provides practical modeling skills and techniques for
simulating forming processes such as:
- Stamping
- Hydroforming
- Punch stretching
- Forging
- Rolling
- Drawing
- Superplastic forming
Who should attend:
This course is recommended for engineers with
experience using Abaqus.
