Issues with von Mises Stress and von Mises Strain and Plastic Strain Values

I have simulated incremental sheet forming process in Hyperworks software and now I am analyzing the results.

1. The issue is that the undeformed portion of the sheet is also showing significant amount of von Mises stress and strain values. Which is absolutely impossible. How come the center undeformed portion of the component is experiencing effective stress and strain. However, there is no plastic strain in that area. Kindly, go through the attached images.

2. Secondly, Plastic strain distribution is correct but it does not sink with the von Mises strain results. What is the difference between the two.

3. Is the values of von Mises strain are in absolute terms or in percentage?

Which version of HyperWorks you are using for analysis and post processing?I can only see the magnitude but no information about extracted output.

It would be nice if you can share more information.

I am using Hyperworks 12.0 version. I am attaching the screen shot of the full screen so that you can have more idea about the chosen options.

Thanks

There is one more issue:

When I am forming the cone, irrespective of the forming depth after Time Step =4.00, the tool movement causes wrinkling in the component wall. However, provided tool path is rechecked and is correct.

Whereas, even before I have formed the cone geometry up to the height of 50 mm and no wrinkling occurred at that time.

I have checked the provided time also, but it is also correctly provided.

Attaching the screen shot of wrinkled component.

Thanks and Reply ASAP.

HI,

stresses and strains have to be looked after springback analysis. the stress results after forming are high and unrealistic. Sprinback resets the stress.

Regarding wrinkles, I will update you soon.

Dear Prakash

How to include spring back in the forming operation which we are simulating.

Regarding wrinkling:

kindly, share the address where I can share the hyperworks model (.hm) file.

Thanks

Hi @PARNIKA SHRIVASTAVA

Do you have access to HW 2017?

If yes, can you try in latest instead of HW 12.0?
