FORMING SIMULATION METHOD, FORMING SIMULATOR, PROGRAM AND RECORDING MEDIUM THEREFOR, AND SIMULATION-BASED FORMING METHOD

摘要

calculating an element equivalent nodal force vector from stress tensor using a finite element method for one or a plurality of finite elements of a target configuration of the elastic-plastic material; and calculating the total equivalent nodal force vector of areas by integrating the element equivalent nodal force vector for the calculated one or more finite elements over all the areas or specified areas of the elastic-plastic material.
