METHOD FOR PROVIDING A PROCESS MODEL FOR A MATERIAL IN A MANUFACTURING PROCESS

摘要

A method for providing a process model for a material in a manufacturing process (100). The method includes the steps of receiving stress and distortion information of the material from a previous manufacturing process , determining updated stress and distortion information of the material from a process model for the present manufacturing process (100), the updated stres s and distortion information being a function of the stresses and distortions caused by the present manufacturing process (100) and the stresses and distortions from the previous manufacturing process, and providing the updat ed stress and distortion information of the material to a subsequent manufacturing process (100).
