Result visualisation

Sir,

     In the pre-processing, as I create the frictional contact in between the binder and blank also apply load on the blank through binder, I expected that the simulation process will show me the blank being sandwiched in between the binder and die with zero clearance in between them.

But as you can see, attched snap of the simulation in the result visualisation through HyperView, there is gap between the blank and binder as wellas blank and die surface,

Is this because, the 3D mesh visualisation is OFF ?

If so, how do I enable it in HyperView?

    Hi Soumitra,

     

    Yes, it could be due to 3D visualization.

     

    You can use measures panel in HyperView. Add a measure group in Measures panel and choose Distance between nodes. select one node on binder and one on die.

     

    If the minimum displacement is equal to the sum of half of the element thicknesses then the results are OK.
