The finite element simulation of the profile bending process is carried out using the existing commercial finite element software

which is prone to problems such as low efficiency of finite element modeling

unreasonable finite element model and high requirements for engineers and technicians. In view of the above problems

this paper studies the finite element simulation of profile bending and analyzes the bending method

geometric modeling

material model

boundary condition setting

clamp trajectory calculation and solving algorithm. Based on the previous research

the geometric modeling module and simulation module of the finite element software ANSYS Workbench were redeveloped

and the corresponding operation template was embedded to realize the geometric model modeling and pre-processing of the finite element simulation of the profile bending. For the specific example

the simulation of the profile finite element modeling module was carried out. The results show that the module developed in this paper can quickly and efficiently complete the finite element simulation of profile bending

and the simulation results are worth to reference.
