[Case Study] Application Case Series 1 of Plastic Processing Simulation - Deep Drawing Process

This analysis example introduces a drawing process for a rectangular box-shaped container.

**Case Overview** ■Product Name: Simcenter Femap with Nastran ■Analysis: Nonlinear Static Analysis ■Industry: Mechanical Components Plastic processing primarily involves shaping through contact between tools and workpieces. Among these, the method of forming bottomed containers from metal sheets using a punch and die is called deep drawing. Various factors such as the structure and material of the mold, the shape of the blank, and friction conditions influence the process, causing changes in the stress distribution in different parts of the blank during forming, which can lead to issues like cracking and wrinkling. This analysis example introduces a case of deep drawing for a rectangular box-shaped container. The initial shape of the blank is 200x200 with a thickness of 0.82mm. The die is a rigid flat plate with a square hole measuring 102.5x102.5 and rounded corners with a radius of 10mm. The punch is a rigid body measuring 100x100 with a step, and similarly, the wrinkle suppressor is also a rigid flat plate. □ For other functions and details, please refer to the catalog.
