/INTER/TYPE8
Block Format Keyword This interface is used to simulate drawbeads. It is mainly used in the process industry to model metal forming.
Drawbeads are used to prevent the metal strip from sliding during the stamping process. Normals of the main segments must be oriented toward the secondary nodes (unsorted group).

Comments
- The node group for secondary surface must be an unsorted group (/GRNOD).
- Iform =1 is not available when using Idt =1 in option /ADMESH/GLOBAL.
- When Fn_first ≠ 0, normal force is computed. The normal force is due to the bending of the blank into the drawbead as the binder closes on the die. The total contact force is the sum of the restraining force and normal force.
- Fn represents
a limiting value. The normal force begins to develop when the distance
d between the blank and drawbead line is less than the
drawbead depth (DEPTH). When the drawbead is close to blank (distance equal to depth), this normal
force reaches a plateau Fn. The
value of normal force depends on the penetration as described here:
Figure 1.
Where, .
- If Fn_last ≠ 0, the limit value Fn varies linearly between the value Fn_first and Fn_last from the first node defined in the set grnd_IDs to the last node, according to the curvilinear distance between nodes. Otherwise, the limit value Fn is constant and equal to Fn_first.
- If Ft_last ≠ 0, the limit value Ft varies linearly between the value Ft_first and Ft_last from the first node defined in the set grnd_IDs to the last node, according to the curvilinear distance between nodes. Otherwise, the limit value Fn is constant and equal to Ft_first.
- If DEPTH = 0 or , the slope of the linear part of the curve is reset to the stiffness of the blank, so that the same time step as the one without normal force is used to guarantee the stability.
