Metal Forming Simulation - Nonlinear Analysis with Marc on SimScale

Описание: 🚀 Learn how to set up and solve a highly nonlinear sheet metal forming simulation using SimScale’s cloud-native platform!In this advanced tutorial for simulation engineers, we replicate a standard NAFEMS benchmark case to validate the reaction forces and final shape of an aluminum sheet metal part undergoing a punch-and-die process.

This walkthrough demonstrates the power of SimScale’s structural analysis capabilities—powered by the Marc™ solver—to handle complex contact, large deformations, and elastoplastic material behaviors in minutes rather than hours. ⏱️☁️

👇 IN THIS VIDEO, YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO:PREPARE THE MODEL: Set up a quarter-symmetry model to optimize computational efficiency.
📐DEFINE MATERIALS: Configure steel tools and an elastoplastic aluminum material model with multilinear hardening curves.
🏗️HANDLE NONLINEARITY: Set up complex contact conditions (touching contact with friction) and a 3-step load process (positioning, punching, retraction).
🔄MESH FOR ACCURACY: Utilize extrusion mesh refinement and second-order quad elements to accurately capture bending.
🕸️VALIDATE RESULTS: Post-process the simulation to visualize plastic strain and compare the total reaction force against NAFEMS benchmark data.

✅WHY SIMSCALE? SimScale empowers engineering teams to innovate faster by making high-fidelity engineering simulation truly accessible from everywhere and at any scale. By moving nonlinear FEA to the cloud, you can run complex validation studies in parallel, eliminating hardware bottlenecks and reducing simulation lead times. 🌍
