Week 4- Rolling operation

Procedure:

• Open the static Structural
• Add copper as Material under Engineering Data.
• Import the model from library
• Open the model in Space Claim through Edit geometry
• Increase the length of the workpiece by 60mm and decrease its size on both sides by 8mm
• Close the window
• Update the Model
• Now open the Mechanical module in Model Tab
• Rename as Wheel 1, Wheel 2 and Workpiece
• For the Workpiece allign Copper NL
• Open the contacts - Select both the contacts.
• Flip the contacts and select Rename based on the definition
• Select type as Frictional and coeeficient be 0.2
• Formulation be Augmented Lagrange
• Normal stiffness be controlled by Factor of 0.1
• Update the stiffness by Each Iteration
• Interface Treatment should be add offset, Ramped Effects

Joints:

• Click connections and add two cylinderical Joints
• Click on the inner surface as Scope
• Change the coordinate system for Z axis

Meshing:

• Insert the body sizing for workpiece
• Size should be 4mm
• Generate the mesh

Analysis settings:

• Input 14 steps
• Select all the 14 steps
• Change the large deflection to ON
• Change stablization to constant with Energy Dissipation ratio as 0.1

CASE 1 - Equivalent stress for the whole setup

CASE 2 - Equivalent Plastic strain for the workpiece

CASE 3 - Directional Deformation in the Z axis for the workpiece

CASE 4 - Prove that the workpiece has displaced by 90mm

RESULT:

S. no	Stress (MPa)	Plasticity Strain (mm/mm)	Directional Deformation on Z axis (mm)
1	2841.5	1.5271	6.1339
