Tutorial conclusion: Sheet metal pass through a roller
In this tutorial you
- Created an Event Simulation study to examine the strains experienced when a steel slab is flattened under a roller
- Defined the roller and pusher block as Rigid Bodies and selected appropriate materials
- Applied fixed and prescribed (time dependent) constraints
- Defined rotational and translational initial velocity conditions on the metal slab and the roller
- Optimized the contact conditions
- Solved the event simulation analysis to see the strains experienced by the metal slab as it is reduced in thickness by 25%.
