Objective:

To perform an explicit dynamics simulation of a planer machining using two different materials: Structural Steel and Steel 1006

To find out the equivalent stress, Total Deformation and insert a User defined result to calculate the temperature of the body

Introduction:

This project is about performing an explicit dynamics simulation of a planer machining. The workpiece (in STEEL 1006) is fixed and the cutting tool will be moving at a given velocity to cut the workpiece.

Procedure for setup

Open ANSYS>>Drag and Explicit dynamics model in the project schematic window.

Go to the engineering data to choose the materials: Structural Steel, Steel 1006

Go to the model tab

Rename the different as required

Go to connection >> contacts

Remove the default contact.

Go to tab for the meshing:

For the meshing choose the values as follows:

The following analysis settings are defined for the simulation.

Set the fixed support:

Set the velocity:

Go to solution tab and insert equivalent stress, Total Deformation and a User defined result to calculate the temperature of the body.

Results

Case 1 : Using 20000mm/s for velocity

Equivalent Stress

Total Deformation

Temperature

Case 2 : Using 15000mm/s for velocity

Equivalent Stress

Total Deformation

Temperature

Summary table

Velocity (mm/s)	Total Deformation (mm)	Equivalent Stress (MPa)	Temperature (°C)
20000	35.461	365.53	587.78
15000	20.332	637.52	564.35

Conclusion

Through this simulation, we notice that total deformation and temperature decrease when we decrease the velocity by setting it at 15000 mm/s.
