Week 4- Rolling operation

AIM:

To perform the Rolling simulation on given workpiece.

PROCEDURE: 

• First we will import the geometry and edit it. And after that we will assign the conditions to it.

• So this is how the component looks like. And after this  We will use pull operation to edit the component. So the final component is shown below:

• Now after that we will edit the mechanical module.
• Now we will assign the copper material to workpiece.
• After that we will assign the contacts to, make sure that the contact body is workpiece and the target body is roller.

• Aftrer this chnage the type of connection as frictional and change the setting as given below:

• Now after that we will create the joints for the roller. So here we are using cylindrical joints as shown below:
• Make sure that Y axis is in downward direction. 

• Do the same with other roller too.
• Now after this we will mesh the component with mesh size as 5mm and by using sizing we will chnage the mesh size of the workpiece as 2mm. As shown: 

• Now after this we will change the analysis setting as shown:

• Now first we will assign the displacement for the workpiece shown below: 

• After this rotation for the roller. Make sure the rotation for one roller is positive direction and for other is in negative direction as shown:

• Now we will add the results we required and then solve the simulation. 

Equivalent stress for the whole setup : 2969.6 MPa

Equivalent Plastic strain for the workpiece: 1.7927

Directional Deformation in the Z axis for the workpiece: 6.0053 mm

Prove that the workpiece has displaced by 90mm:

• Here you can see the wokpiece is displaced by 90.68 mm which is near to 90mm. 

CONCLUSION:

• All the results are plotted as per the requirement. 
• The displacement of the workpiece is 90 mm is also proved.
• The maximum stress on the workpiece is 2969.6 MPa
