Forging process simulation
Hello friends,
I am doing My Graduation in Mechanical, right now i am on a project and want to simulate Forging cylinderical billets in order to optimise the process parameters, hence it is required to optimize the process parameters like temp., speed , stroke, material flow etc. as a function of Die design and friction. I want to simulate it in ANSYS plz help me how to go for it, because finally i want stress, strain rate, strain, material flow as the final result.

FEA ANSYS WORKBENCH VERSION 12.1.0
hello
this is my first post on this website
i am a undergraduate student workin on my dessertation
i have a rectangular plate thickness 2mm dimensions 150 X 50 mm. there are 2 V notch on the plate and a crack is meant to b growin between the V notch that are
at an angle of 45°.
i am not good on FEA if some one could please help me with a tutorial to do the problem on FEA and numerical calculations with stress intensity factor, crack growth rate and modelling stresses on the plate.
mesh dependence of continuum damage mechanics approach
Hello Everyone,
I am a beginner in FEA of composites under impact in commercial explicit code Pam Crash.I want to know why the behaviour of composite plies with CDM approach show mesh dependency?Or a more general question for me is that what makes the FE simulation of a material with strain softening behavior mesh dependence(If this conclusion is right)? Does it make any difference with regard to mesh dependency if one uses implicit codes??
Thanks

MARIE CURIE FELLOWSHIP - Early Stage Researcher
Are you a recent graduate in civil, mechanical or chemical engineering, physics
or applied mathematics, with experience in one or more of the following: solid
or soil/granular mechanics, discrete element method (DEM), bulk solids handling,
computational multiphase flow modelling?
Looking to develop a career in cutting-edge engineering with the opportunity to
live and work internationally?
The PARDEM project has brought together industrial and academic partners to
develop the DEM modelling techniques and to predict the behaviour of granular
solids such as pellets, grains, sand and biomass for industrial applications.
As part of PARDEM, the University of Edinburgh has outstanding doctoral training
opportunities in the area of granular solids. We are seeking an exceptional
