Preprocessing

The parameters can be changed in pre.fbd.

Parameter Value Meaning
R 1 radius of the wire in mm
L 16 length of the wire in mm
R1 5 radius of the fixed tool (die) in mm
R2 2 radius of the movable tool in mm
X 5 x-position of the center of the die (point A) in mm
Phi1 120 sector angle of the die surface in °
DivR 2 number of radial mesh segments in the wire
DivL 40 number of longitudinal mesh segments in the wire
Div1 40 number of circumferential mesh segments in the die
Div2 20 number of circumferential mesh segments in the movable tool

Postprocessing

Extraction of the time history of the reaction moment and the internal energy from the dat file and generation of the corresponding plot

> dat2txt.py Biegung
> Biegung.py

When comparing to the reference solution take care that the FEA model is just half of the wire (symmetry).

Quantity Reference 2xFEA
Moment in N mm 980 800...920
Energy in mJ 1290 1040

The matching is reasonable, given the crude approach for the reference estimates and the coarse mesh.

Create the animation (see on the top of this page)
