the cutting forces in the machining process

[bookab]

Anyone can help on how to determine the cutting forces (Fc) in Abaqus orthogonal cutting simulation, please?

[Jorgen]

I am not sure I understand your question. I have done a lot of cutting simulations and it is usually very easy to extract all forces from the time history of the reaction forces.

thank you Jorgen,
I have another questions please,
-what's kind of interaction between the tool and the piece we must define ? surface or node region ? I use the node region but can't obtien a continus chip (all the elements lost, look at the picture)
- we must do a partition face to obtien continues chip ?
thanks in advance.
