Hi My name's Nick, I ma a french student in a mechanical school. I am doing a project about the simulation of two sheet metal joined by clinching. This simulation is under Abaqus/cae. The two sheets are already joined and I am studing the effect of the join when we pull one sheet when the second one is fixed. I would need information about the type of simulation, the elements and the MESH. Thanks to everybody who will read and answer these words. Nick

Hello, Nick

I think you may post your question on a mechanical simulation forum (perhaps on yahoo) because it is here a forum about Computational Fluid Dynamics.

Thanks HVN, would you know by chance such a forum of mechanical simulation?
