Abstract

For process–structure simulation, a lot of models and methods have been created and implemented into different software systems. The uncontrolled growth of specific solutions has led to a bewilderment for (potential) users during the last years. Therefore, the most important step before choosing and applying a method for modeling is to define the task of each simulation clearly and, in addition, to analyze the general conditions. In this paper, a systematic classification of all relevant influences for a part-specific simulation by means of the Finite Element Method (FEM) concerning thermal production processes is presented. Relating to a certain scenario, this classification helps to choose adequate models. Combined with the experience and the theoretical background of the user, the dilemma of efficiency in application and the accuracy of the results can be solved satisfactorily for each task.
