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.
