I need to make one cutting simulation (not CAM, but CAE) and I would like to know if SW can do this (implict or explicit). Is the Cosmo Solver to able to run this kind of simulation? ]Like a turning or milling process showning the forces / chips. TKS!!!
Hi Bill,
In fact, I need to undertand and to see the chip formation and the forces (I've tried with NATRAN but I have no success).
Tks,
You need an NL code like abaqus with facture models, failure models and automatic in solution remeshing.
what do you want to learn in this study?
Hi Jared
I would like to study the forces, reaction, chip formation....I know that ABAQUS and ANSYS can performance this kind of study...but as I already have SW here, I want to try!
Tks!
I would be surprised in Ansys proper could pull this off.
In fact, ANSYS uses the LS-DYNA solver inside of this core
Like I said Ansys proper. I am well aware of LS-Dyna and it being available from MSC, Ansys and others.
it really comes down to what youw ant to learn. if you want to know how the chips form..etc. you'd have to go to something like ABAQUS. there are plenty of videos showing the functionality on youtube.
No. But you would get a better answer if stated what physics you need to capture to get waht you are after.
