Week 4- Rolling operation

Simulation of Rolling operation Using

ANSYS Workbench 2020 R2

Thejan Sasilal

OBJECTIVES

For this challenge, you will have to simulate the rolling operation on a workpiece made of copper. The model will be provided to you. Increase the length of the workpiece by 60mm and decrease its size on both sides by 8mm. Run the simulation for 14 steps and you can give small but random values( similar to the ones mentioned in the video) for the displacement. Ensure that the edge of the workpiece is displaced by 90mm.

Find out the

Equivalent stress for the whole setup

Equivalent Plastic strain for the workpiece

Directional Deformation in the Z axis for the workpiece

Prove that the workpiece has displaced by 90mm (Hint: It's mentioned in the video)
