FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF HEAT TRANSFER ON THE ACTIVE SURFACE OF CUTTING TOOLS

Abstract

The finit elements method is a procedure of solving a large variety of engeneering problems with the assistance of the computer. In this paper we will analyze the way in which the heat distribution is made in the contact area between the part and the cutting tool using the ANALYSIS AND SIMULATION module from CATIA. This mode of design involves advanced knowledge of modeling, programming and management of parameters and relationships, being called parameterized assisted design.
