Method of designing and optimizing fixed cutter drill bits using dynamic cutter velocity, displacement, forces and work
A method includes simulating a cutting tool drilling an earth formation by incrementally rotating the cutting tool at a plurality of time intervals, determining a true trajectory of a cutting element disposed on the cutting tool for the duration of the plurality of time intervals, and determining a dynamic work profile for the cutting element based on the true trajectory and a force acting on the cutting element at each time interval.
