Stamping Simulation

Can PrePoMax simulate stamping simulation like attached file ?

Stamping_CuttingDie

Yes, but you will likely have to export the input file and change the type of step to dynamic explicit or at least dynamic implicit. CalculiX is not so good for such simulations but it should work with proper settings.

Dear FEAnalyst san,
Thank you for your reply!

If possible ,could you let me know the command to make the mesh disappear in input file ?
I will run input file by calculix directly.

You can either copy the mesh definition to another input file and reference it in the main one using *INCLUDE keyword or simply open the full input file in gVim text editor which can fold the data lines automatically.

Dear FEAnalyst san

Thank you for reply
I will look for mesh disappear " Input deck format"

Input deck format (mit.edu)

hi,

you may refer to Prof. Martin Kraska (Brandenburg University of Applied Sciences) for similar cases, the examples has been posted at GitHub here.

however CalculiX does not support fracture materials as shown by your animated pictures. i did not yet to check MFront capabilities for such as type of material.

best,

Better use this version of the CalculiX manual, it’s up to date: http://www.dhondt.de/ccx_2.19.pdf
