Improvement of an Abaqus finite element model of the hot rolling process to detect shape defects

The objectives of this internship would be to assess the reliability of the model (domain of validity, precision vs. computing time), make a sensitive analysis of the defect regarding the different parameters and derive guidelines to avoid the defect.

Internship goals:
– Use and improve an existing Abaqus model to simulate hot rolling process
– Check the stability of the model and perform parametrical study
– Build simulation cases from real data
– Present the results in a written report and oral presentations
