A Numerical Mechanical Coupling Algorithm for Deformable Bodies: Application to Part/Mold Interaction in Casting Process

摘要

The aim of this study is to simulate the interaction between cooling part and deformable mold in casting. A numerical mechanical coupling algorithm with deformable bodies based on a penalty method for contact is presented. As a validation, a comparison with a semi-analytical model and numerical results on a complex 3D case are proposed.
