Background to better understand phase transformations and mechanical material properties in a hot-forming simulation, with some additional explanations about plastic law implemented in PAM-STAMP and SYSWELD.
In PAM-STAMP we can simulate some processes like hot-forming or superplastic forming where initial blank has variable thickness. Visual-Mesh has special functionality which can create mid-surface mesh with information about thickness per each element. There are the guidelines of workflow in Visu...
If you need to create a tailored welded blank in PAM-STAMP with non linear welding lines or more than 2 straight lines with angle, you need to use VISUAL-MESH for blank mesh creation.
Here is explained some background for a better understanding of the numerical methods usually used in advanced implicit, and not only used in PAMSTAMP.
The documents here attached are to help PAM-STAMP users to understand the background and get the best possible results and minimize work time, by doing check, clean and repair the CAD with the tools available in VISUAL MESH before doing any mesh.
This document is to help users to find the best practices to save time in PAM-STAMP, especially by using VISUAL MESH for the CAD cleaning before the meshing.
