New service from DYNAmore: free material cards for more than 60 steel grades
Stuttgart/Linz, November 18th 2019
In cooperation with the Austrian steel manufacturer voestalpine, DYNAmore has created a material database for various steel grades. The material cards are now available for LS-DYNA users and can be requested from DYNAmore free of charge. The material cards are prepared for the simulation of deep drawing processes.
Some of the steel grades sold by voestalpine are now available for free use by LS-DYNA users. The data was provided in Excel format by voestalpine and converted by DYNAmore employees into the LS-DYNA keyword format. A total of more than 60 different types of steel are available. Among them are:
- Mild Steels
- High Strength Low Alloy Steels (LA or HSLA)
- Bake Hardenable Steels (BH)
- High Strength IF-Steels (IF)
- Carbon manganese steels
- Dual Phase Steels (DP)
- Complex Phase Steels (CP)
- Dual Phase Steels with improved formability
- Martensitic Steels (MS)
- Press hardening steels (phs)
The data is structured in subdirectories. The respective steel grades are distinguished between cold-rolled steels and hot-rolled steels. Furthermore, two unit systems MPa_ton_mm_s and GPa_kg_mm_ms are available. For each steel, there are two files in LS-DYNA keyword format:
- CR1-GI_DX52D-Z.dyn: Material card for LS-DYNA (each MAT_036: 3 R-values + yield curve)
- CR1-GI_DX52D-Z_ISO_12004-2_Transverse_1.00_mm.fld: Forming Limit Curve for postprocessing with LS-PrePost
DYNAmore GmbH makes the data available to its customers free of charge. Interested parties are welcome to contact DYNAmore. All you need to do is sign an agreement to receive it.
DYNAmore would like to thank voestalpine for providing the data and is looking forward to future projects.
