Hi, there,
I think creating the surface with curvature of the die and punch in Dynaform is more difficult than
doing it in CAD software, e.g. ProE, but should be successful. There are lot of questions in the
solver of Dynaform ---- LS-DYNA. Maybe I am wrong. I was trying to give different scale factor
(SLSFAC), normaly it is between 0.01 to 0.1 (default value) in "Control Parameters" of Dynaform,
such as 0.2, 0.1, 0.5, and the reason that I gave the bigger value than 0.1 came up from the
LS-DYNA Theory Manual that increasing the scale factor in penalty method could reduce the
penetration possibility when the pressure is too high between contact surfaces (slave and master), while I got relatively smaller difference between results of thickness. But with 0.2, it seems that
the bigger thickness of the final can is only 0.257795 mm, which is a little bit bigger than the
clearance 0.254mm.
I am going to have a Dynaform training next month and hopefully they could answer me the
question. And then I will put it on. |
