Micro Abstract:
The aim of the novel inverse form finding approach is to determine the optimized workpiece geometry to its given target geometry after a forming process. During the optimization procedure, differences between the computed and the target spatial configuration have to be minimized. Material nodal positions act as design variables. The procedure is applied to a notch stamping process. As a special feature, mesh adaptivity is considered within the iteratively performed forming simulation.
