The ToolSimulation Principle
The Objective:
T
he GAP-module
Tool-Simulation
uses the
FEM method
to simulate the cutting performance
of precision tools. In this context, 3D tool models from
ToolDesign
can be tested virtually in
defined work pieces with their material properties before tool production begins.
The simulation process was realized with high computer processing power through extensive
modification of a standard simulation software. At the start, an interactive work piece descrip-
tion for the process is provided to the user of
ToolSimulation
. This digital work piece receives
information about all material properties that are necessary for the simulation process from an
edited system data base. The geometry variations and material properties of the precision tools
are available through the 3D volume models from
ToolDesign.
