2. Digital simulation

2.1 Finite element models

In general, each stage of the process is simulated to take account of the sheet's deformation history: dropping, pre-crimping, crimping and the intermediate phases of tool removal and sheet springback. Two types of numerical modeling are generally adopted for crimping simulation. These are discussed in this section.

2.1.1 3D modeling using shell elements

This type of modeling is mainly used in industry for reasons of computation time. One example is the OPTRIS v6.1...
