Simulation granite stone cutting by using a rigid cutter in Abaqus

In this tutorial simulation granite stone cutting by using a rigid cutter in Abaqus has been investigated.The granite stone is modeled as three dimensional part ,the cutter and supporter are modeled as rigid body.The Abaqus CAE contains some material model for brittle materials,but they are suitable to simulate the large deformation,damage and failing ,so the Abaqus does this capability to use VUMAT subroutine or called embedded subroutine in the input file to make a better behavior of materials.You can a figure of assembled part at below

Dynamic explicit is appropriate for this type of analysis . To consider the damage of internal elements in the granite stone general contact by considering internal erosion has used as input file because the CAE dose not this capability. The boundary is assigned to rigid bodies. The mesh on the vicinity contact should be very fine to achieve the better prediction.During the simulation,stress,strain,damage variable and other results would be obvious.You can see some results of this simulation as figures at below

You can provide CAE ,INP,and English video files of this simulation here. The cost of these files is Twenty-Six Euros. you can click on the bellow bottom to beginning process
