Course Overview
Die simulation and one-step forming analysis systems are only as accurate as their input. This class empowers analysis system users to take control of the creation anad management of their own material specifications library with the goal of ensuring their analysis results correctly predict actual process outcomes. The subject matter includes:
- An introduction to basic material properties covering stress/strain curves, and the basic theory of finite element analysis (FEA) systems
- Understanding material specificiations (n, R, and K values) and how to derive them from laboratory tensile test data
- Hands-on case studies to understand how the accuracy of material specificaition can and does affect analysis results as well as actual part quality
- Discussion on how to develop an in-house sustem involving engineering, purchasing, and quality to close the loop to ensure material suppliers deliver the same material as specified in the initial process analysis
This class is intended for analysis software users as well as engineering, purchasing, and quality management who want to understand the needs and requirements of a company-wide materials specifications management and testing system.
Prerequisites
FEA die simulations users should have prior experience in the use of a one-step forming analysis or incremental analysis system. Engineering, purchasing, and quality management personnel are reccomended to attend in conjunction with their analysis engineers.
