Simulation of sheet metal forming incorporating EBSD data

► A framework for incorporating microstructural data in macro scale simulations is proposed. ► Two approaches for the representative reduction of crystallographic texture data are investigated. ► A deep drawing process is simulated by using a micro-macro transition method at the integration points of the finite elements. ► The predicted earing profiles agree well with experimental findings. ► A study on the influence of friction coefficient and blank holder force on the shape of the predicted cup is presented.
