Roll Forming Simulation using Higher Order NURBS-based Finite Elements
Roll forming is a continuous bending operation of a long strip of metal sheet. The sheet is gradually formed through pairs of rotating rolls (called stands) until the desired cross-sectional configuration is obtained (see Fig. 1). Although roll forming is a classical method to produce constant cross-sectional profiles, it remains a complex process. Finite element analysis (FEA) can assist the designer to improve this process
