有限元技术已广泛应用于力学过程仿真 ,对冲压等工程问题的应用也逐渐得到人们的重视与认可。然而 ,有限元技术在多工步成形中的应用尚处于起步阶段。本文讨论了多工步成形模拟过程中存在的几个关键问题 ,提出了相应的解决办法。并结合 NUMISHEET’ 99设定的奥迪汽车公司前门板成形标准考题模拟工作 ,对汽车覆盖件多工步成形数值模拟问题进行了具体的研究。

FEM simulation has been widely used in the field of metal forming, such as stamping etc. Numerical simulation technology on mulit-operation sheet forming, however,is still immature nowadays.This paper expounds critical techniques for the multi-operation forming simulation. To demonstrate the application of these techniques, a front door panel forming simulation is carried out.
