Project Description
I already have the full cutting-tool and workpiece assembly modelled in SolidWorks. What I now need is a complete machining simulation run in SimScale (or another explicit FEA package you can justify). The cutter is solid carbide and it engages a nickel-silver workpiece.
The end goal is to understand the physical response of the cut, so the simulation must clearly capture:
• chip formation as the material shears off,
• the stress field that builds up in both tool and workpiece, and
• the accompanying temperature distribution throughout the cut.
Please bring in reliable material models suitable for high-strain-rate metal cutting, apply appropriate boundary conditions, choose a mesh that balances accuracy with runtime, and document every assumption you make.
Deliverables
• The fully set-up SimScale project (or exported solver files) ready for me to open and rerun.
• A short report summarising the model, key parameters, mesh metrics, solver settings and any convergence checks.
• High-resolution animations of chip formation.
• Contour plots and raw data (CSV) for von-Mises stress and temperature at chosen time steps.
I’ll supply the SolidWorks files as soon as we agree the job. If you need any additional geometric details or material data sheets, let me know and I’ll provide them right away.
