Hi, I am doing a 3D cutting of a certain material. I set my initial temperature to 293K for both the tool and workpiece by usiing predetermined field(for initial step). I tried to extract the nodal temperature of tool tip and I realised that the temperature dropped drastically right after the cutting commenced. Same thing happened to my workpiece and tool nodes.
I did the same cutting on 2D and didnt encounter such problem.

It would be great if anyone could provide some guidance. Thank you in advance.

Hi FEA way,

I tried to reduce element size but I still got the same results.
I assumed that my element size is small enough so far.
