Abstract: 

This works consist of the simulation of thermo-stamping process on a thermoplastic composite automotive part followed by the mechanical simulation of the manufactured part. The process simulation is based on a thermo-visco-hyperelastic model. The simulation of mechanical behavior first required the development then the implementation of crash behavior law in Abaqus subroutines VUMAT. The different simulation works have been preceded by experimental tests in order to provide input data for the models.
