Today, metal forming is considered one of the essential methods of manufacturing and producing parts. Therefore, the more accurate knowledge of it leads the industrialists to produce higher quality parts. Deep drawing is one of the most important methods in metal forming processes used to produce cup-shaped products. In this paper, numerical simulation of the deep drawing process based on the finite element method is performed using Abaqus software for a cylindrical cup. Then, the results obtained from numerical simulation are compared with the experimental results in the sources, and the validation of the simulation is performed. In the deep drawing process, effective parameters such as circumferential strain distribution, thickness strain distribution, and radial force distribution are extracted from numerical simulations and compared with experimental results in the sources. The effect of friction coefficient, blank holder force, and punch radius on the deep drawing process has also been investigated. Because experimental methods based on trial and error are time-consuming and costly to achieve the shape of the primary blank, researchers use numerical methods to simulate and design metal sheet forming processes such as deep drawing. It is necessary to compare the results with experimental works to validate the simulations performed by numerical methods.
