How to simulate and test various cutting edges and cutting surfaces?

Hi SW

I'm an engineering student and for my 4th year final project I'd like to simulate various cutting edges of blades and would like to see how they perform in various tasks. I do know a fair bit about modeling in SW and have used it before with great success but I know much less about simulations and I am not sure how to approach this problem. Does anyone have any insight into this? Is SW CFD the best tool for the job?

Thanks!
