EFG Method Used in Deep Drawing Numerical Simulation

This paper brings in front of the interested researchers using one of the most known and used meshfree method, Element-Free Galerkin (EFG) method, in modelling of a technological process. It is about the deep drawing process of thin plates made of steel or aluminium. The paper gives information both for EFG method and for deep drawing process. The modelling as well the results are presented in a comparative way towards the using of Finite Element Method (FEM). The numerical analysis is based on the Ansys/Ls-Dyna program, in which EFG method is implemented. This numerical method is less known in our country and much less used, in spite of some advantages comparatively with the FEM. Of course, the EFG method is still under developing, but it can be successfully used in many problems. This paper is a proof in this sense and an urge to use the EFG method.
