IMAUF – Advanced Stamping Simulation (www.imauf.de)

Simulation of manufacturing processes like metal stamping is a well established procedure in all of the automotive companies today. Dedicated stamping codes like Autoform, Indeed, Pam-Stamp and other more general codes like LS-Dyna or Abaqus Explicit can be used for these purposes. However, in all applications of stamping simulation today there is one major assumption about the behaviour of the stamping tool itself: the tool is expected to be stiff enough and no deformations due to friction of the stamped plate are considered during simulation. In a recently started project the coupling of a stamping simulation with the structural analysis of the deforming stamping tool will be realised. The deformation of the stamping tool will lead to locally different friction parameters – compared to a standalone stamping simulation. It is one of the challenges in this research project to evaluate infl uence of changing friction parameters onto the quality of the final stamped plate.
