On the Relevance of Modeling Options in ABAQUS Regarding the Spinning Process Simulation
Résumé
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(R) finite element software are investigated, after a prior comparison
of the simulation results from Abaqus(R) and Forge(R) . Conclusions are
drawn regarding results accuracy and computational cost. The relevance
of the tested options is thereafter discussed.
