• Hi Feazyx It is actually what we're doing : we stamp the radius, then cut the edge's geometry then bend it. Basically we want a square shape on the ZX Plane, conserving the radius along the Y axis. The fact is we have some issues with the geomet…

• Hey there Double post for updating the feed : Finally reached convergence by drastically reducing the timestep and adding a blank holder. (Sim time : 0.5sec, timestep : 0.001sec ) Bad new is i did not set a *NODE FILE,FREQUENCY card so it did st…

• Hi Feazyx I too am a stamping engineer, and working in a very small company we can't afford Autoform. Mecway seems to answer a lot of questions we have. For the "Serre-Flanc" (The blank holder) you are right, i chose to add the geometry with conta…

• Sergio Here are the step i used. (I moved the part called Poincon by 5.5mm in Z to have the starting situation) I saw the other thread about this artifacts, but as far as i understood i need to decrease the time step and desactivate the auto time…

• Hi Sergio ! Thank you for the tip ! I'll give it a try in Hex elements Regards Jolan

• Hi Sergio Thanks for your support, you are right i'm currently removing every details i don't need. I want to try it in Hex elements, but i'm not sure to be able to do it with automatic meshing, as i am importing STEP from a solidworks part. Is i…

• Oh I forgot to add some views to illustrate my concern. Here's the geometry, i've currently a simulation running and i don't have any screenshot of the "artifact" but it looks like the one attached (yet it's not this part). Thanks for any help Jo…
