  4. Abstract:
  5. In this paper, an integrated software environment is demonstrated for computational simulation of powder forming processes. The powder compaction software, PCS_SUT, is designed in both popularity and functionality with the development of user-friendly pre- and post-processing software. Pre-processing software is used to create the model, generate an appropriate finite element grid, apply the appropriate boundary conditions, and view the total model. Post-processing provides visualization of the computed results. In PCS_SUT, a numerical model is developed based on a Lagrangian finite element formulation for large deformations, a cap plasticity theory for non-linear behaviour of material, and a contact algorithm for the frictional treatment of powder-tool. The paper will present details of the environment and include an example of the integration of application software. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved
