Anyone used Matlab to verify a best aluminum hog-out tool path for optimum stress relief ?

Want to do this right, since we are switching parts entirely from another manufacturing method. Have both 2D and 3D drawings for the existing parts, and have some leeway for tolerances and non-critical geometeries. Looking for anything even close to this concept ...

Hi Anya,

I understand that you are trying to verify aluminum hog-out tool path for optimum stress relief.

To achieve this you can do a Finite Element Analysis using MATLAB's Partial Differential Equation Toolbox.

Please refer to the following documentation for an example on FEA analysis:

I hope it helps!

Thanks so much!
