Abstract
Electromagnetic forming process involves the coupled electromagnetic and mechanical phenomena. However, different coupling techniques extremely influence the precision of EMF simulated results. Compared with Loose Coupling Simulation, Sequential Coupled Simulation changes air location regularly according to the deformation result of the sheet. A 3D sequentially coupled finite element model of sheet free-forming have been developed with the multi-physics FEM software ANSYS. The results showed that the Sequential Coupling model had a better agreement with experimental results than Loose Coupling model. Based on the sequentially coupled model, the simulation results indicated that the loading time of the coil had a great effect on sheet deflection. Considering efficiency and accuracy, the one and a half period of loading time led to the best result.
