Deep Rolling simulation in ABAQUS

Submitted by farajzare on

Hi all

I want to simulate the deep rolling process(as seen as in attachment)

in this model I defined 2 steps,at first, the rigid ball create a pressure to cylinder to create residual stress and at the second step the ball begins displacement with

a low speed in direction of cylinder longitude to create surface overlap, while the cylinder is rotating in both steps.

in this model I have used the explicit solver but it takes too much time and elements convergence cannot be accomplished.

how can i reduce the time of my solution?

or if u can please offer me another appropriate idea for this process?

thanks
