INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW
This manual presents two examples that demonstrate the use of the PAM-INVERSE
modules:
- Example 1: Final part flattening using PAM-INVERSE.
- Example 2: Unfolding of final part onto a curved surface using PAM-INVERSE.
The user will be able to familiarize with PAM-STAMP 2G concepts, while obtaining
an initial idea of the various associated tools.
The functions used in the examples presented, in no way form an exhaustive list of
functions available in the context. However the examples make use of a maximum
number of functions, and these are associated with a number of pointers for enhanced
construction speed.
The application offers numerous object construction and modeling possibilities. The
solutions given for these examples are designed to show the user how to handle the
software, and should not be considered as the only construction solution, nor the
reference solution, for each example.
Conventions Used
-
Instructions to select submenu items are given in the Menu/Submenu format.
Throughout the examples, dialog names, control labels and controls are formatted in
an Arial bold font.
Throughout the examples, parameter names and values given by the user are
formatted in italic font.
Throughout the examples, file names and directory locations are formatted in a
Courier font.
The example files are available in the Examples directory of PAM-STAMP 2G

installation directory. If the user installed in another location, he must navigate to files
in that location instead of the location specified in the instructions. The user should
check if he has file access permissions to write to these directories; it is advised to copy
the files into the users working directory.

PURPOSE OF THE EXERCISE
The purpose of this example is to learn how to set-up an inverse calculation using
PAM-INVERSE, further to the flattening of the final part. The user will be guided
step-by-step through the main functionality of the software through various steps.
-
Create new project, import the geometry and mesh it: Import the part data file in
PAM-STAMP 2G with meshing set-up.

-
Set-up an inverse calculation: Set-up the model and boundary conditions for
simulation.
-
Results: Post-processing and analysis of the results.
The geometrical data of final part and die are stored in files: Final_part.igs

SETUP OF THE ANALYSIS

Rename imported parts
As you have noticed in the previous pictures,
imported parts was named DeltaMESH by
default and DeltaMESH2, it is therefore better to
rename them.
-
Go to the Project toolbar on the left side of

the main window of PAM STAMP 2G,
click the right mouse button on DeltaMESH
and select option information. This will
open the Object information dialog box.
Write down the new name final_part in the

field Name in this dialog box and click on
Apply. The change is promptly displayed in
the Object field too. You can change the
color of the part if needed.
In same dialog box in the Object field

select a second object DeltaMESH2 and
change its name in the same way to
Die_1st_OP.
Click Close.
Selection and lock of elements.

-
You can see that some elements of the final

part and the die are the same. They are
outlined in red in the picture. For the
flattening of the final part it is important to
lock these elements.

In the Analysis toolbar then in the Contour

tab, choose the option Distance and then
Distance between objects
The Distance between objects dialog box is

opened (see picture below).
In the section 1st set of object select final_

part and check the option distance to 2nd
set.
In the section 2nd set of object select

Die_1st_OP.
Other settings are left by default.
Click OK to validate it.
Select the Contour

toolbar in the Contour tab.
Choose the Deselect all icon
in the Selection toolbar.
Now you can see the new object locked in full color. It should look like the picture
below.
To be sure that computation will converge it is better to have a smooth border of the
locked objects
-
Go to the Analysis toolbar, then to the Visibility tab. Use

the Edges button to
display the elements. Select irregular elements and remove them from the locked
object by clicking on the Remove selection from object option with the right mouse
button menu (you can eventually use the Add selection to object to add the selection
to the locked object).
