Abstract: Many simulations of grinding processes focus on the penetration of a grinding wheel and a workpiece and neglect displacements of the machine system. This paper presents a modular concept and initial applications for developing a comprehensive simulation of the grinding process and the grinding machine.

Keywords: high performance grinding; simulation; finite element method; FEM; machine modelling; interaction; machine displacement; process modelling.
