DM 700 as listed in the Winter 2026 Graduate Calendar. The main page has the current version, when it runs, and seats.
This course will cover numerical simulation techniques used to accurately and efficiently simulate industrial sheet forming processes. A variety of finite element based techniques will be considered including explicit and so-called single and multi-step methods. * Review of sheet forming concepts * Numerical modeling techniques * Contact algorithms, friction * Material modelling, sheet anisotrophy, use of FLDs in formability prediction * Spring - back and trimming * Survey of commercial codes, Pre- and post- processing, CAD interface.
