Abstract

An object-oriented approach to the analysis and design of metal forming and directional solidification processes is presented. A number of specific ideas are introduced on how a deformation or a solidification process can be partitioned into subproblems that can be independently developed and tested in the form of class hierarchies. Class development based on mathematical and/or physical arguments is emphasized. General ideas are provided to demonstrate that an OOP approach to the FEM modeling and design of material processes can lead to efficient simulators that are easily maintainable and expandable. A metal forming example is presented to demonstrate the ability of the deformation simulator to handle the analysis of industrial metal forming processes. Also, a design directional solidification example is presented to demonstrate the substantial benefits of using OOP techniques for the design of processes with a desired solidification morphology.
