Notes:
A 3-D solid finite element simulation of sheet forming processes is briefly discussed.Examples of cold or warm deep-drawing and sheet hydro forming are presented. Sheet work-piecescan be assembled to produce complex components by using different techniques: such as welding ormechanical fastening. They must also be simulated in order to evaluate and optimise the quality ofthe parts; examples of hemming and of self piercing riveting are described. Structural computationallows us to evaluate the strength of a component and especially the strength of the joining. In thefuture, more precise optimization of the components will be possible by the transfer of data fromthe previous stages of sheet forming and joining, to the structural computation code. This input datawill be firstly the distribution of residual stresses, the evolution of local properties such as elasticlimit, damage and anisotropy. An example of structural computation on a system of two sheetsassembled by a single rivet is presented
