BREAK FORMING
MAR101, Workshop 3, September 2008

● Model Description
● A flat sheet is formed into an angled bracket by punching it
through a hole in a rigid table. The cylindrical punch drives the
sheet (workpiece) to a total stroke of 0.3 inch. The punch then
returns to its original position. This exercise makes use of simple,
straightforward movements of rigid bodies.

● Objective
● Illustrate setting up of a multi-step analysis and the use of rigid
surfaces charged with shaping a malleable workpiece.
● Required
● break_forming.igs

● Suggested Exercise Steps
1. Import the geometry from an IGES file.
2. Mesh the workpiece.
3. Create the material properties.
4. Apply boundary conditions, and contact bodies.
5. Create two Loadcases.
6. Create and submit the analysis job.
7. Post-process results.

Force Y punch as Y-axis
variable.
f. Click FIT.
g. Click MAIN.

Step 18. Re-analyze the model with more accuracy
● The Punch Force Vs. Time graph obtained from the analysis does not seem to be very
smooth. This is a typical outcome when the convergence tolerance is too large.
● Re-analyze the model with a tighter convergence tolerance, and draw a new Punch
Force Vs. Time graph. Use Relative Residual Force of 0.01 (Default = 0.1).
● Hints: Modify both the load cases using the following steps, and re-submit the job:
LOADCASES: Select the load case
STATIC
CONVERGENCE TOLERENCE
RELATIVE FORCE TOLERENCE: 0.01
OK
OK
