Semester | Spring Semester 2019 |
Lecturers | P. Hora |
Periodicity | every semester recurring course |
Language of instruction | German |
Comment | All Engineering Tool courses are for MAVT-Bachelor students only. Number of participants limited to 25. Only one course can be chosen per semester. |
Abstract | Application of the special-purpose simulation and planning tool AUTOFORM for the digital modelling of manufacturing processes in sheet metal forming (car panels production). Introduction to virtual methods. Demonstration of industrial examples. |
Objective | Modern FEM tools for virtual modeling of forming processes. The course provides following concepts: - Fundamentals of non linear Finite-Element-Methods (FEM) - The development of the virtual model - Material properties - Tool and contact conditions - Process evolution - Introduction to AUTOFORM software - Independent simulation exercises |
Content | The simulation tool AUTOFORM allows the design of metal working manufacturing processes, optimization and additionally the possibility to examine the expected process robustness of fabrication processes. The methods are exemplified and the application of the software is exercised in the scope of this course. |
