Metal Forming Simulation Using Nonlinear Material and Contact
“This tutorial cemonstrates a nonlinear static analysis of metal forming simulation using nonlinear material and
contact.
1. The goal of this analysis is to introduce you to the elasto-plastic nonlinear material
2. The model s a forming case in which the ate and punch are made up of steel. The sheet material
subjected to the displacement at the top of the punch,
lads
3. Anonlinear analysis is performed to determine the contact pressure and traction,
4, The units used in this analysis are meter, kilogram and seconds.
Open the Model
1 Start Autodesk Nastean In-CAD,
2. From Open navigate to the CUsers\Public\Public Decuments\Autodesk\Nastran In-CAD 2019\Tutoriel\en-
us\Inventor\nventor 2019 folder and open forming assembly.iam.
43. Clik File, Save As and save the model as NL Farming Assembly fam. This allows you to reuse the original
