ABAQUS using first result for second analysis

ABAQUS using first result for second analysis

ABAQUS using first result for second analysis

(OP)
Hi everybody. I'm using ABAQUS to simulate deep drawing process like Erichsen experiment. My model should be two step.
1. I want to pre-deform my sheet metal with abaqus.
2. Then ı want to use this pre-deformed sheet metal and its results with abaqus for another deep drawing process.
My question is: Are there any way to success these operations?

Why ı want to do this. Because I want to model work hardening sheet metal which is in first step and use these result second step.

RE: ABAQUS using first result for second analysis

Is there a reason not to just use 2 steps?
Else, you can check out restart and import analyses in the manual

In my project first mold is different from second tool. So ı need to change punch shape. First punch is gave a texture on sheet metal and second process is this textured sheet metal deep drawn.

RE: ABAQUS using first result for second analysis

just put both punches in the same model; then in step 2 disable contact between punch 1 and sheet, enable contact between punch 2 and sheet. If your punches are rigid computational cost will be negligible

Thank for your interest. I think i can apply your suggestion. But I should change punch with die. Is it important? For example in step 1 sheet is flat. But in step 2 sheet have little bubble on surface. Die and punch change and dimension of between die and holder also change. this picture is my second model which ı want to shape with first punch. this is the second punch shape
