Hi everyone, I've recently been using Abaqus/Explicit to do a finite element simulation of metal cutting using the ALE method, and I've seen a blogger on YouTube do a similar simulation(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wVFSw94Rkk). Still, his results are much more normal than mine. Doesn't ALE normally allow for mesh adaptation? Why is it that when I use ALE to simulate the cutting process, I can't get the chips at all? The mesh in the workpiece and tool contact area is not adaptive either; it is still badly distorted. I have followed in the STEP module: Other→ALE Adaptive Mesh Domain→Edit, toggle on Use the ALE adaptive mesh domain below and click Edit to select the region ( undeformed chip region) and turn off the distortion control for the workpiece mesh. Where did I set it wrong? Please help me. Thank you very much!
