Product Overview:

In this video tutorial, we investigate the chip forming process using a thermal approach in ABAQUS. This simulation considers the impact of temperature variations on the materials involved in the process.

Modeling Details:

• All parts are modeled in three dimensions, including their thermal properties such as thermal conductivity, specific heat, and thermal expansion. These properties are crucial for accurately simulating the behavior of materials under varying thermal conditions.
• A dynamic temperature-explicit procedure is employed, which is particularly suitable for this type of analysis.

Thermal Interactions:

During the chip forming process, the temperature changes significantly as heat is generated and distributed between the cutting tool and the workpiece. This interaction affects the material properties and the overall efficiency of the cutting process.
