22. Post-Necking and GISSMO Material Calibration​

23. Purpose of the Workflow

Preparing GISSMO Material cards by utilizing material test data. ​ The calibration process can be classified into two parts such as:​

1/ Post-necking calibration​. 2/ Failure strain vs Triaxiality curve calibration.

Purpose Workflow



24. Elements of the Workflow

1/ Input data preparation​

2/ Verification of material cards​

3/ Post-necking calibration​

4/ Failure strain calibration​

5/ Regularization

Elements of the Workflows



25. Features of the Workflow

1/ Material data input:​
  1. Material data population is now a part of workflow execution which allow us to populate material data with few clicks.
2/ Decision Based Execution:
  1. Based on the decision we make; workflow will auto select the material for calibration and execute the calibration process.
3/ Machine learning:
  1. Workflow will take advantage of machine learning methods whenever necessary to reduce the computational time.
4/ Report Generation:
  1. Workflow generates a report for the execution of any calibration process we select.

26. Interaction in Start worker

The only interaction is with the START worker to provide necessary inputs followed by execution of the Workflow.

Start worker interaction



Workflow execution with simple steps​

We can calibrate a material by executing the workflow as described below.

1/ Navigate to ‘Generic’ in the Start worker:​
The generic tab holds all the ‘Execution Decisions’ one might need to take.​

2/ After attaching ‘Material data file’ we can set the Execution type to ‘Get data from material parser’​

3/ Once we have all the material data, we can execute the workflow by setting the ‘Execution type’ to below settings in the given order.​
a.Verification : Verification with Uncalibrated MAT24 and Uncalibrated failure​
b.Post-necking calibration : FD based​
c.Failure Strain calibration: Uniaxial Notch Shear and Punch​
d.Regularization​

27. Calibrated MAT24 card

This workflow is constructed to take an Engineering Stress Strain curve and provide a calibrated MAT24 card whose material behaviour up until and including the Post necking region is similar to that of the Test data.

30. GISSMO Material Calibration with MAT_ADD_EROSION

LCSDG Curve From Test

1/ d3VIEWs Material excel parser help us extract all the material information that we need for the calibration process​. ​2/ This includes the extraction of failure strain from the available DIC strain data​. 3/ Material excel parser prepares the Failure Strain vs triaxiality curve which becomes the starting point for the failure calibration process.

LCSDG Curve From Test



30.1. 1/ LCSDG Curve Calibration

We can calibrate the LCSDG curve with two ways​
  1. Failure Strain calibration with reference triaxiality (0, 0.333, 0.567, 0.666)​.
  2. Failure strain calibration along with the triaxiality at failure (adding the triaxiality at failure point along with the reference triaxility).

30.2. 2/ LCREG and FADEXP Curve Calibration

LCREG and FADEXP Curve Calibration

Once we have the calibrated LCSDG curve, the next steps involved in the calibration process is to calibrate the FADEXP and LCREG curves​. We calibrate these curves simultaneously by optimizing the LCREG and FADEXP factors for each mesh size and then consolidating the curves.
