Development of Software System for Plate Forming Simulation

강판의 곡가공 시뮤레이션을 위한 전산시스템 개발

As it is well appreciated plate forming by line heating takes an important role in ship production process. The paper deals with the development of line heating simulator which can produce the resultant deformation due to line heating in a few minute adn with which user can see the result graphically. For the present purpose mechanical modelling is adopted which can explicitly represent the physical resultant of line heating. In developing the present line heating simulator several program modules are integrated by adopting GUI concept such that the simulator can produce resultant deformation with keeping high accuracy. Application example is illustrated for the twisted shape surface which can be frequently seen in ship and offshore structures.
