Cooling System CAE Analysis and Optimization Design of Hot Stamping for High Strength Steel Sheet

This paper has done CAE analysis of hot stamping, and optimized the water-cooled system which takes the degree of uniform temperature of blank as the objective function of optimization. The aim is to find a method of optimizing hot stamping mold cooling system based on ANSYS Parametric Design Language (APDL) with ANSYS Mechanical/LS-DYNA software and lay the foundation for designing hot stamping mold. And the work mainly consists of three sections, building parametric finite element model, simulating the process of quenching and optimizing the location parameters and radiuses of each coolant duct. Finally, contrast the optimal result with the initial result and get the conclusion, and moreover, point out the future work.
