Practical tool to simulate realworld machining processes. ? CAD generated NC files are used to determine the cutter geometry and path. ? Convenient residual stress import mechanism is provided. ? Automated NC data interface is provided to determine elementcutter intersection. ? Local adaptive remeshing is used to improve fidelity of cut part. ? This tool can be readily used to simulate plex realworld machining problems and provide data on resulting stress distributions and distortions.
