A detailed insight into machining processes is the most important precondition to understand
their principle working mechanisms and hence to use this knowledge for their planning and
optimization. For this reason, modeling and simulation approaches which are capable to
derive prognosis for different process values are in the focus of this lecture. Today such
process simulation systems are subject to research on the one hand but they are applied in
industry to a certain extent on the other hand. Both are mainly driven by the availability of low-cost
computational power.
This lecture deals with the modeling and simulation of machining processes (mainly turning
and milling). Starting with a definition and a classification, different modeling methods
as analytical-empirical, Finite Element-based, geometrical-physical the realization of these methods in simulation systems
are presented and discussed.
