Some manufacturing processes affect properties in an undesirable way.
It can for example be residual stresses or unwanted deformations of a component. This thesis is an initial study of how to numerical simulate the heat treatment processes and to predict the properties that affects the quality of manufacturing. There is a number of different ways to solve this problem. This solution will be used to generate boundary condition for the FE-prediction of temperature and mechanical changes during manufacturing. The coupling between CFD and FEM will be done in an automatic way.
