Tutorial A1: Metal Forming Simulation Using Nonlinear Material and Contact

This tutorial demonstrates 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 is a forming case in which the die and punch are made up of steel. The sheet material slab is subjected to the displacement at the top of the punch.

   

3. A nonlinear analysis is performed to determine the contact pressure and traction.
4. The units used in this analysis are meter, kilogram, and seconds.
