Hi
I am using Abaqus 2023 for simulating material removal behavior for an additively manufactured workpiece.
In the attached image, I am simulating EDM process whereby this workpiece has been removed from the baseplate using this material removal simulation. (https://help.3ds.com/2023x/english/dsdoc/SIMA3DXANLRefMap/simaanl-c-amspecialpurpose-removal.htm?contextscope=cloud)
As a subsequent step, I am removing material from this blade which I call milling process or material removal in XY plane. The problem is while I apply the stress field from previous simulation (EDM), to the new milling simulation, as can be seen from the image that some misorientation occurs as stress field do not matches with the geometry of the blade during milling simulation at time = 0. Does anyone have any suggestion on how to prevent such mismatch?
could meshing have some effect on it? although same mesh is used in both simulations.
