I am currently working on the project of single-point incremental forming by using Abaqus explicit analysis. I have successfully run the simulation and generated results. In my simulation magnet is rotating. I want to generate the path of Magnet in the form of X, Y, and Z Coordinates so that I can implement it on CNC machines.
If anyone have idea about how to extract coordinates from analysis please share with me.
Thank you.
Hi Muhammad Adnan,
I don’t know how did you do your simulation? I mean, did you use a function to give your tool a path to do the forming process? Or used displacement and amplitudes to give a path to your tool?
If you used a function to do the simulation, you just need to give this function to software like MATLAB to plot the X, Y, and Z coordinates against time. Then, use this data for the CNC machine.
Also, you can check this link. An incremental forming simulation is presented with full details: https://caeassistant.com/product/uhard-subroutine-vuhard-subroutine-in-abaqus/#1576702296965-155e826a-9aae
Best luck.
Hello Martin,
Thank you for your response. I have used subroutine to assign paths. in my subroutines. I have used some conditions. I will send you my subroutine file in your inbox. please have a look at it.
