CNC machining simulation software
SAMCEF
SAMTECH
on the analysis of machining systems at a macroscopic scale.
Several aspects of machining such as part dimensional errors,
process stability and thermo-mechanical distortions are covered.
With SAMCEF for Machining, process engineers may validate
and improve their machining operations by changing different
parameters such as clamping system, tool trajectory or cutting
conditions.
In other simulation software, the elements of the machining system -
part, tool, clamping devices - are modelled as rigid bodies so
that crucial issues cannot be detected (part deformation, chatter...).
In SAMCEF for Machining, the system elements are modelled
with Finite Element meshes so that their real behavior is
taken into account. Consequently, Manufacturers are able to predict
and avoid machining issues for various operations such as
face milling, turning or drilling.
* Simulations:
o Evaluate the efficiency of clamping devices using flexibility
maps;
o Define the most appropriate tool trajectory;
o Set the optimal axis tilt for face milling operations;
o Adapt the cutting conditions to the stiffness of the clamped
part;
o Check chatter issues locally using stability diagrams;
o Reduce the risks of chatter in face milling with the chatter
maps;
o Set the best order for holes in drilling;
o Automatically improve the tool trajectory to compensate the
part deformations.
