The Materials panel is used to define the materials for the forming simulation.
For Incremental_RADIOSS, Hill Orthotropic Tabulated is recommended for steel. For aluminum, 3-parameter Barlat Orthotropic materials is recommended. The same material model must be used for forming and springback. All tools are modeled as elastic.
For LS-DYNA, Transversely Isotropic Elastic Plastic material is recommended for steel. For aluminum, 3-parameter Barlat material is recommended. The same material model must be used for forming and springback. All tools are modeled as rigid.
User defined materials can be saved to the database by clicking the Add to Database button.
To create a hardening curve for the material, click on the import curve button. You can then either create a curve using K, n and YS (yield strength) values, or read in an XY data file. For further information on reading a file see the Curves panel.
How do I...
In the RADIOSS Incremental user profile:
1. | Click on materials and enter the name of the rigid tool material. |
2. | Click on card image and select ELASTIC from the list. |
Note: | By default, the material properties assigned to this material are set for steel (E = 210,000 MPa, density =7.8e-9 Mg/mm^3, Poisson’s ratio = 0.3). Also, the global constraints are applied while creating the tool from the Components panel. |
In the DYNA Incremental user profile:
1. | Click on materials and enter the name of the rigid tool material. |
2. | Click on card image and select MAT_RIGID from the list. |
Note: | By default, the material properties assigned to this material are set for steel (E = 210,000 MPa, density =7.8e-9 Mg/mm^3, poisson’s ratio = 0.3). Also, the global constraints (Tx=Ty=Tz=Rx=Ry=Rz=0) for MAT_RIGID are applied. |
