In order to lower the cost of experimental research, the process modeling and simulation of metal cutting has been a significant method since the cutting process variables can directly affect production. For instance, the cutting force measurement is a considerable requirement as it is directly related to workpiece and tool design, power consumption, tool wear and machinability of the workpiece, etc. However, conducting experiments in order to obtain cutting forces can be costly, time-consuming and can cause wastage. Therefore, FEA (Finite element analysis) is a widely used approach along with its accuracy and consistency in this matter nowadays. This paper focused on a simulation model of AISI1045 using Deform 3D, which is a finite element analysis software, for cutting forces in the turning process. A total of 27 simulations were conducted with 3 various factors(cutting speed, depth of cutting and feed rate) and 3 levels. The cutting force values were obtained from Deform 3D software and analyzed the effect of the cutting parameters on the cutting force. As a result of this study, it is found that obtained results have an agreement with the literature research since there is an increase in cutting force with the increase of the depth of cutting and feed rate.
