Development of a Method for the Visualization of the Process of Forming of Curved Profiles in the Software Used for the Numerical Analyses of the Roll Passes

详细

We propose a method for the visualization of the process of bending in the developed computer-aided system aimed at the design of equipment and tools used in manufacturing of bent profiles. The necessity of development of a special program for the numerical analyses of the profiling equipment of the rolls of roll-bending units is demonstrated. We present the description of the conditions of working with the proposed software and its functionality and discuss the method for the numerical analyses of changes in the geometry of the blanks. The displacements of reference points of the blanks in the production of arbitrary profiles according to the chosen flow diagram is analyzed. We also present graphic results of the numerical analyses of the profiling equipment for an arbitrary profile illustrating the possibilities of the program.
