Quasi Static forging process
Quasi Static forging process
(OP)
Hi,
I have just started getting the hang of Abaqus and was trying to simulate a quasi static forging process with a sinusoidal die profile. I have used a dynamic Explicit step and specified the surface to surface contact between all the right surfaces. Yet, when the simulation runs, the die simply goes through the blank. What could I be doing wrong?

By the way, IF you are familiar with FEM or, at the very least, dynamics, then jumping straight on to a problem like this may be fine. Otherwise, I would recommend learning the basics first.

RE: Quasi Static forging process
The normal interaction was specified. Could the time period of the step be the reason?

i think your movable part is rigid body and you have to go in your contact setting and cheang that node to surface. PLZ try it
