Is there any way to import stress results generated by SIMUFACT into MARC as initial state or MENTAT for postprocessing?

  • Hi Borys,
     
    In Additive it is difficult to output a t16 file, since we calculate with voxel technology. However, you can do the followings as a workaround:
     
    • Run the simulation in Simufact Additive
    • Create a new "dummy" process in Simufact Forming, e.g. a cooling process. Use the feature "Geometries - result from - other project" to import the result geometry of the Additive process (.amproj file) into the Forming process and assign the geometry to the workpiece:

    • Set up the model with other required settings, you may need the meshing, material, temperature etc. To accelerate the simulation you could set that the cooling process should only take 0,001s and only 1 increment should be written out in the "cooling control - general/ step control". In the "cooling control - output divisions - addtional output" you could select "write a t16 result" and run the job.
     
    Then you should get the t16 file of the 0-increment, also the same with the result from the Additive process.
     
    I hope the answer is not too late and could help. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have further questions.
