"Presented is a methodology for finite element modeling of the continuous press hardening of car components using ultra high strength steel. The methodology is not specific to a particular problem or any FE software package," scientists in the United States report.
"The Numisheet 2008 benchmark problem BM03 was selected as the model problem to be solved. Although there are several commercial finite element computer codes available to model hot stamping, this paper presents results using LS-DYNA," wrote A. Shapiro and colleagues.
The researchers concluded: "All modeling parameters, including thermal-mechanical material property data and boundary condition ...
