  • Method to Simulate Bop Shearing
    Publication number: 20190340322
    Abstract: A method to create a simulation of a shearing process for a ram blowout preventer (BOP) comprising the steps of building a 3D digital model of the ram BOP including damage parameters based on generic material properties of the ram BOP; inputting the 3D digital model of the ram BOP into a damage model; and simulating the shearing process using the 3D digital model of the ram BOP and the damage model.
