Altair solutions for sphere hydroforming with explosive

Mathis

Overview

This article presents the Altair solutions for sphere hydroforming with explosive.

 

This article includes:

• a ready-to-use Altair Radioss model
  • Altair Radioss version is V2020.1
    
  • The Unit System is in g, mm, ms, MPa
• an Altair HyperWorks session file to allow fast analysis of the simulation
  
• A full methodological report with:
  • the physical explanation of the phenomenon
    
  • the detailed description of the model 
  • the analysis of the simulation results
  • the analysis of the performances of the model

Context:

Hydroforming with explosive is a process to manufacture spherical vessels (like the ones used for natural gas storage). Simulation is way to better understand the process and optimize it.
