Finite Element Method (FEM) Model Development for Cutting Process Simulation Using Mentat and Marc Solver
This study presents the development of a Finite Element Method (FEM) model to simulate cutting processes, focusing on the analysis of various parameters such as stress, strain, temperature, and cutting forces in the cutting zone. The FEM model is developed using Mentat software and solved with the Marc solver. By employing this method, we can effectively manage cutting parameters, optimize cutting tool geometry, predict tool wear, and improve tool life. The research investigates key parameters and their values, providing insights into the cutting process that can enhance efficiency and performance. The application of FEM in this context offers a robust framework for advancing the understanding and development of cutting technologies. Various software applications that support these investigations are also explored, underscoring the versatility and precision of FEM in cutting process simulations.
