3.1 Geometry Creation
o Creating the geometry of the tool and workpiece through the part module.
o Create each individually and then assemble them (dependent and independent assembly) in the
assembly module..

3.2 Material
Depth of cut
Workpiece
Create a material
Create a section
Assign section
to partition
o Based on analysis requirements: thermal - dynamic
o Cutting Tool: elastic and thermal properties
o Workpiece: elastic, plastic, damage, and thermal
properties.
o Partition the workpiece: damage layer (larger than
edge radius) – more stable.
o The depth of cut is used as the plane stress/strain
thickness.

3.2 Material
o Constitutive model
Used to describe the material deformation behavior.
Obtained by fitting stress strain curves to certain models, e.g. Johnson cook model.
o Damage Criteria
Describe chip separation.
Damage initiation: start of degradation in stiffness
Damage evolution and element deletion.
