Week 3 Sheet metal Bending challenge

OBJECTIVE :

To perform a sheet bending simulation for different materials and to compare the results.

METHODOLOGY:

First add the given non linear materials to the engineering data and import the geometry.
assaign the suitable materials to the geometry aluminium alloy NL for the sheet.
define the frictional contact between punch and sheet and sheet and die.
apply the mesh to the bodies and perform the body sizing and face sizing.
perform the analysis in 10 steps and ensure that the large deflection is on .
give the displacement to the punch and ensure that the sheet displaces through the direction of punch only and restrict the displacement of die in all directions.
run the simulation and compare the result for different materials.
run the simulation for the above mentioned cases by applying the same procedure.
