Abstract
Simulations of Single Point Incremental Forming generally require a very high
computation time because the tool path is long and small elements are required everywhere on the
sheet. In this paper, a remeshing method based on refinement and coarsening strategies is used with
abaqus/explicit to reduce the computational time. The simulation of a semi-spherical cup with a fine
mesh is considered as a reference simulation. The remeshing method allows reducing the number of
elements and therefore the CPU time during the simulations. A good prediction is observed with the
remeshing method.
