1. Problem Summary
We will summarize the basic procedure for defining a turning process in DEFORM-3D,
then we will go through each step in detail.
1. Set Simulation controls . Set unit system (English or SI), turn on heat transfer
2. Set object name for workpiece
3. Import workpiece geometry
4. Generate mesh on workpiece
a. Smallest element ½ to 1/5 of feed
b. Size ratio 6 to 8
5. Assign workpiece material
6. Assign workpiece boundary conditions
a. Velocity = 0 on bottom surface
b. Heat exchange with environment on all surfaces
7. Add a second object to the object tree
8. Assign tool name
9. Import tool geometry
10. Generate mesh on tool
11. Assign tool material
