Cutting analysis OptiStruct/Radioss??

Altair Forum User

Hi. I am new user here. I would like to do cutting analysis, something like this

Maybe someone help me ? I need to solve cutting force and reaction force on die and punch.

Maybe have you any tutorials, what kind of solver to use, material card ?

I solved cutting force on paper and I want to compare calculations.

Hi robert10241

I think you need to assign dedicated failure property to achieve this simulation. Please go through Failure Models in RADIOSS Help Menu, which explains about various failure models available.

Please go through Example 26-Ruptured Plate example from Help Menu, which is a simulation of the rupture using the failure models. The example model file is attached for your reference.

Hi,

in addition to @Pranav Hari suggestions, it looks like the example you shared is a 2D plane strain analysis. It is computationally more efficient to run this type of analysis instead of 3D analysis. Check the following topic for details:
