Abstract

Numerical parameters have significant impact on the results of finite element simulations. Wrong selection of these parameters causes erroneous results and too long computation time in the analyses. Therefore, numerical parameters should be selected properly in order to obtain accurate results in the finite element simulations. In this study, the effects of the numerical parameters used in finite element simulations are investigated. Deep drawing of a double bowl sink is modeled and simulations are done with different parameters. Influences of element size and refinement level on the blank, the effect of the number of elements on the die radius and dynamic effects are investigated and optimum parameters are determined. The results obtained are compared with experimental data, and a good agreement is observed.

Kurzfassung

Numerische Parameter haben einen signifikanten Einfluss auf die Ergebnisse von Finite-Elemente-Simulationen. Eine falsche Auswahl dieser Parameter kann fehlerbehaftete Ergebnisse und eine zu lange Berechnungszeit in den Analysen verursachen. Daher sollten die Parameter richtig gewählt werden, um akkurate Ergebnisse in den Finite-Elemente-Simulationen zu erhalten. In der diesem Beitrag zugrunde liegenden Studie wurden die Auswirkungen der numerischen Parameter, die in Finite-Elemente-Simulationen gewählt wurden, untersucht. Es wurde das Tiefziehen eines Doppelspülbeckens modelliert und die Simulationen mit verschiedenen Parametern ausgeführt. Es wurden die Einflüsse der Elementgröße und des Verfeinerungsgrades auf die Form, die Auswirkung der Elementzahl auf den Formradius sowie dynamische Effekte untersucht und die optimalen Parameter bestimmt. Die so ermittelten Ergebnisse wurden mit experimentellen Daten verglichen und eine gute Übereinstimmung beobachtet.
