Simulation of a Clinch Unit by using Cosmos and Abaqus

Sammanfattning: The following report contains an evaluation of the use of mathematical simulation programs at the company Isaberg Rapid AB. The work includes booth FE and motion simulations where the results are compared with real life test data. The goal of the report is to evaluate the accuracy of simulations which can be performed by engineers as a part of the design process. By using mathematical simulation tools it is possible to find a good design solution early in the development phase and thereby shorten lead time and reduce costs.
