Discussion of fracture paper #1 - A contol volume model

Submitted by ESIS on Sat, 02/12/2011 - 14:59

This is a premiere: my first contribution to the new ESIS' blog announced in January. Why comment on papers in a scientific journal after they have passed the review process already? Not to question their quality, of course, but animating a vital virtue of science again, namely discussion. The pressure to publish has increased so much that one may doubt whether there is enough time left to read scientific papers. This impression is substantiated by my experience as a referee.

forging

Hello friends,

I am doing My Graduation in Mechanical, right now i am on a project and want to simulate Forging cylinderical billets in order to optimise the process parameters, hence it is required to optimize the process parameters like temp., speed , stroke, material flow etc. as a function of Die design and friction. I want to simulate it in ANSYS plz help me how to go for it, because finally i want stress, strain rate, strain, material flow as the final result.
