Hydroforming of a Metal Pipe

How to simulate hydroforming process of a circular metal pipe?

The metal forming driven by hydrostatic/hydrodynamic force, hydroforming, is one type of the non-conventional forming process. In this knowledge material, Autodyn multi-material Euler solver and its Euler/Lagrange coupled multi-solver approach are employed in Explicit Dynamics system to simulate the hydroforming process of forming a circular pipe into a rectangular pipe under hydrodynamic (fluid) force.
