Simulation of Sheet Metal Forming Using Solid Elements using ANSYS LS-DYNA©
Simulation of sheet metal forming has long been a fundamental application of ANSYS LS-DYNA, predominantly relying on shell elements under a plane stress assumption. While effective in many cases, situations arise where a full 3D representation becomes imperative, particularly when modelling thicker sheets or parts with tight radii. However, transitioning from shell to solid elements poses immediate challenges related to e.g. element size and the simulation model size.
