Decision brief

The project in six evidence steps.

Problem
Coordinate radial–axial forming, load, thermal retention, stability, and final geometry for a 20 m-class 316H ring.
Abaqus FE
A 3D Abaqus/Explicit thermo-mechanical model carries consistent geometry, tooling, mesh, and process assumptions.
Automation & data
Control generation, FE execution, extraction, and audit produce a traceable 100-case dataset.
Surrogate & screening
Response-specific models and supported Pareto screening narrow the candidate space.
FE rerun
Selected schedules return to the complete FE model for independent rerun checks.
My contribution
Process design, coupled FE setup, control and automation, extraction, surrogate evaluation, optimization, and independent reruns.

Boundary: screening narrows the search; it does not replace full-process verification or establish industrial feasibility.

Abaqus/Explicit ring-rolling finite-element system
A unified basis for geometry, tooling, and mesh.
