perimeter shear test simulation

Hi,

I think the 32 Dia hole is meant for scrap (Drawing technology), correct?

If yes, Yeah you can only constraint the die

thanks for the reply.

the 32mm dia is for scrap.

but how do i apply the force only  on the topmost surface of the laminate and the constraint on the lowermost layer only.

could you please check my model file and comment if it would give me the desired results.

HI,

What is the objective of the simulation?

Are you interested in forming?

the objective of the simulation is to calculate the amount of force required to punch the 25mm dia punch completely through the laminate.

the test is for testing monocoque laminates.

Hi,

I will check if HF can be a better option, 

Did you have any luck doing this, looking to do exactly the same thing, any tips would be appreciated or even your model file if you got it working would be amazing?

hello,

i am working on a monocoque chassis and to start my analysis i wanted to simulate a perimeter shear test in hyperworks.

i have made a model with a surface and shell elements . the model is attached below.

the test involves applying constraints to the lowest surface and load on the topmost surface.

is it fine to apply fixed support on the surface excluding the lower 32mm dia circle and apllying force on the upper 25mm dia circle region.

please help it is very important for me.

 

hello were you able to complete the test finally i am actually stuck on the same and i want to know how you conducted the test
