Simulation of Sheet-Bulk Metal Forming Processes with Simufact.forming using User-Subroutines.

In this article, we consider the simulation of sheet-bulk metal forming processes, which makes high demands on the underlying models and on the simulation software. We present our approach to incorporate new modelling approaches from various fields in a commercial simulation software, in our case Simufact.forming. Here, we discuss material, damage, and friction models as well as model adaptive techniques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
