Heat solid (metal) deformation

0 votes

Hello!

I need to solve a certain task via brute force (change geometrical parameters and solve many times). but when solving the problem I need to know the stress level at each point of a solid body. so I decided to write a program to calculate the plastic deformations using FENICS. it is the task of volume deformation of the solid body. in the task there is a tool: one part is stationary, the other movable and moves with constant speed in the direction of the deformable body. but I can't find an example of how at each step to move the mesh tool and find points of contact between a deformable body and two instruments at each step. please help to understand how to do it.
mesh may be 2D for fast solving.
