High-efficiency computation for electromagnetic forming process: An explicit-implicit GPU approach.

Low computational efficiency is one of the crucial challenges in electromagnetic forming process simulation. However, the huge gap in switching from the electromagnetic field to mechanics hinders the development of high-efficiency parallel coupling. A graphics processing unit (GPU)-based explicit-implicit coupling method is proposed to address the high-computational cost in simulations of the electromagnetic forming process, in which the large deformation (explicit) and electromagnetic field (implicit) are intimately coupled.
