Axi-symmetric Upsetting
This procedure demonstrates how to generate components, material properties, boundary
conditions and forces to create a Finite Element model using Abaqus CAE software. The
model to be created here is a section through a cylinder (an axisymmetric model), i.e.
Only the upper-right hand quadrant of the cross section is created in the model.
1.
Select create part

in the Part module. In the
dialogue box that appears, name the part workpiece.
Select Axisymmetric, deformable, shell, accept the
approximate size of 200. Click continue.
2.
Select the box icon

. Below the display window,
type (0,0), press enter and (20,20), press enter, to
create a box. Note that all of the dimensions are in mm.
If the sketch of the section contains a small rectangle at any of the corners, it should be
deleted as this will constrain the deformation of the section to maintain the same angle.
Select the delete icon
and then Done.
, then select the feature to be deleted, e.g. the rectangle,
The box (or cross section of the workpiece) may also be constructed by specifying the
individual lines by selecting the create lines icon
(Note, selecting the red cross
. Select done
below the window will end the current procedure.)
3.
Choose create part in the Part module. In the box that appears, name the part die.
Select Axisymmetric. Select Analytical rigid. Click continue.
4.
Select Create lines

icon. Type in (0,20) and (30,20) to create a line. Click the
red cross below the window to end the current procedure. Select done.

5.
Select Tools from the list across the top of the screen. In the pull-down menu, select
reference point. Click the right end of the die.
6.
Proceed to the Property Module. Choose create material

icon. Name the
material-1 as workpiece. Select General and Density. Enter 7.6e-9 ton/mm3.
Select mechanical. Choose elasticity and elastic. Enter 210 GPa for Youngs
modulus (be sure to convert this to N/mm2, due to the dimensions of the box
being in mms) and 0.3 for the Poisson ratio. Select mechanical. Choose
plasticity and plastic. Enter the values as shown below. Click OK.
Flow stress (MPa)
Plastic strain

7.
Choose create section

. Name section-1 as workpiece, accept the other defaults.
Click continue. Click OK and again OK in the next box that appears.
8.
In the Part box,
select workpiece. Go to Assign section option

. Click on the image of the workpiece
on the screen. Click done. In the edit section assignment box select workpiece. Click
OK. Save the model.
9.
Proceed to the Assembly module. Choose Instance part

. In the Create
Instance dialogue box, choose workpiece and click apply. Then choose die and
click OK.
10. Proceed to Step module. Choose create step icon

. Select Dynamic Explicit.
Click continue. In the Edit Step dialogue box, under Basic, name the description
as Deform. Turn Nlgeom on.
11. Continue to Interaction module. Choose create interaction icon
. Name it
contact. Choose Initial in the step list and Surface to Surface Contact for the
contact type. Click continue. On the screen select the die. Click done. Choose
yellow to indicate the bottom surface of the die.
Choose surface. Select the show/hide selection
options icon
below the window. In the box that
appears, click the select the entity closet to the screen
option.

Click the top edge of the workpiece. Click OK and done.
12. In the Edit Interaction window that should appear, select create, next to the contact
interaction property box. Name it Friction. Click continue. In the next
dialogue box choose Mechanical and select tangential behaviour. Select
Penalty in the Friction Formulation area and enter 0.3 in the friction coefficient
box. Click OK.
13. Proceed to Load module. Choose the create boundary condition icon
each of the following constraints.
(BC) for
a.
Name the BC as fixed_y. Choose step: Initial; type:
Symmetry/Antisymmetry/Encastre. Click continue. Select the bottom line of
the workpiece. Click done. Select YSYMM and click OK.
b.
Name the BC as fixed_x. Choose step: Initial; type:
Symmetry/Antisymmetry/Encastre. Click continue. Select the left border line
of the workpiece. Click done. Select XSYMM and click OK.
c.
Name the BC as fixed_ref. Choose step: Initial; type:
Displacement/Rotation. Click continue. Select reference point. Click done.
Select U1 and UR3 and click OK.
d.
Name the BC as deform_down. Choose step: Step-1; type:
Displacement/Rotation. Click continue. Select reference point. Click done.
Select U2 and input -5 in the adjacent box. For Amplitude box, Select Create.
For the amplitude type, select Tabular. Then enter 0,0 in the first row and 1,1 in
the second row and click OK.
14. Proceed to Mesh module. Above the window select Part and in the Part box, select
workpiece
. Click on the Seed
Part icon
. Accept the defaults in the Global Seeds dialogue box. Click done.
Click on the Mesh Part Instance icon
, at the bottom of the screen select yes.
15. Next, go to Job module. Click on create job icon

. Name: Job-1, click
continue. Name description as Displace down. Click OK. Save the model.
16. Click on Job manager
. Click Submit to submit the job to the solver. Click
monitor to check the analysis progress.
17. Once the job is complete, click results to check the results. Select the icon
to
display contours. To examine different stresses etc, select Result, Field Output
from the main menu bar.

Abaqus Tutorial
Below is a typical illustration of the results that you should obtain, von Mises stress is
displayed.
You must use your judgement as to whether the mesh is appropriate (e.g. are the elements
small enough), and whether the increment of deformation per step is small enough
(specified as -5 in the load module for this example).
If the right-hand free surface of the workpiece deforms enough to reach the die surface,
you must specify an interaction between these two surfaces, otherwise the workpiece
material will move into the die, which is not physically possible.
