Orhtogonal Cutting-Extreme deformation
Orhtogonal Cutting-Extreme deformation
(OP)
Hello community,
I am trying to simulate a simple orthogonal cutting and I am getting the extremely distorted
illustration when the job is completed.
At first the simulation is as following:

Then

And finally the distorted illustration:

RE: Orhtogonal Cutting-Extreme deformation
Should I attempt to change it?
RE: Orhtogonal Cutting-Extreme deformation
Did you change the Field Output (when posting) so that elements with status (status variable tab) less than 0 is hidden?
The variable STATUS can be requested as a field output.
STATUS
Status of the element (the status of an element is 1.0 if the element is active, 0.0 if the element is not).
.fil: no .odb Field: yes .odb History: yes
RE: Orhtogonal Cutting-Extreme deformation
I have gotten results like this before when I have failed to adequately constrain certain DOFs. I mention this as it looks like the cutting tool has rotated about your x-axis.
Good luck,
Dave
RE: Orhtogonal Cutting-Extreme deformation
StefCon, the STATUS variable at Field Output Request did the trick.Thank you very much for your on the spot comment.
Dave442, the cutting tool has rotated about the x-axis but I think this is a problem with my materials and my tool's speed amplitude.
If I have any further issues I will re-post.
Good luck.
