how to apply traction vectors on each node of the model?

Submitted by hamid.farivar on

Dear All,



I was wondering if someone experienced could reply me. I've already
analyzed a model and extracted the nodal stress tensors. Now the aim is
identifying the external model nodes and its corresponding stress
tensors and then re-apply them as a new Boundary Condition. Firstly, it
seems that I need to multiply these stress tensors (which vary node by
node) by a normal vector resulting traction vectors. But, here is the
question, how should I define these traction vectors on external nodes

How 2D Finite element metal cutting simulation will help to find out surface rouness??

Submitted by Borad M Barkachary on

Hi all Metal cutting experts...



I have done done 2D finite element metal cutting simulation and validated with experimental force value. as we know.. from 2D FEM simulation, we can get only force data, stress-strain, temperature and somehow chip morphology. Can anyone kindly tell me how will this 2D simulation help me to link with surface roughness of the machined surface.



I will be  very gratefull to you all....

 

thanks in advance...



regards...

Borad
