Material file database (again)

Hello all - I'm new to this group but a seasoned Pro/E designer and experienced Mechanica user based on Ireland.

I have a job on which requires me to finally get to grips with the new elastic-plastic analysis functionality of Simulate 2 and apply it to a forming operation on a small 300 series stainless steel tube. Would anybody on here be prepared to share a material definition file for one of these steels, set up with stress/strain data for LDA? I'm not trying to freeload and would be happy to work collaboratively and reciprocally with one or more knowledgeable users who may also also be working to develop confidence in this powerful new functionality.

Many thanks

Tony

Hi Anthony

Just as long as you understand that this is a typical engineering approach to AISI 304, that works well in Creo2.

There is a lot to be said on how to correctly make a material definition, but this one works nice with Creo (Creo likes smooth curves) and fits the 304 data for yield and ultimate (with true strain of course!)

Try it, let me know what you experience.

Hi, Tony,

Here is a link on quaractéristiques of stainless steel.

I do not know if this is exactly what you want.

Cordially.

Denis

    Thank you Erik.

    To my chagrin I'm still having the traditional wrestle with PTC's installation to get Advanced Simulation running. I've added your sample file for 304SS to my materials d/b and will have a play once the elastic-plastic functionality is installed correctly. Rightly or wrongly I have the impression that this new functionality and other recent changes represent an upswing in investment in good old Rasna which helps keep the product relevant in my eyes. Elasto-plastic module seems a bit gawkish and I'm sure the user experience will gain more polish in the next few releases.

    Hopefully this analysis job will work out and build the store of knowledge about how to get useful output in a sensible amount of analysis time. Will report in due course!
