Hi,
i have to simulate the cutting of a piece of aluminum. see attached assembly.
the upper blade should run one time direction along all the aluminum panel, and i'm interested in understanding the residual stress.
since i'm new about this kind of simulations, someone could help me??
some remarks:
- blade, bottom blade and guide could be considered with infinite hardness.
- geometrically the blade (obviously) goes in interference with the Alu panel along his way.
If someone could give support would be very appreciated!
Many thanks to you all,
Andrea
Andrea,
I'm not very familiar with SolidWorks Simulation, but this seems like a problem that very few simulation codes could solve and I'm pretty sure that SolidWorks isn't one of them. This is a very specialized type of analysis. You have to be able to split elements or in between elements and then remesh your body. I don't believe that SW Sim can do either of those.
