You must include a parameter table of type “ABQ_AM_MovingHeatSource” in the table collection for moving heat flux.

Tables of type "ABQ_AM_MaterialDeposition", "ABQ_AM_MovingHeatSource", and "ABQ_AM_EigenStrain_TrajectoryBased_Activation" cannot refer to the same event series in an analysis.

Parameters

Event Series
Name of the event series.
Energy Distribution
Set to “Concentrated” to indicate a point energy source, to “Uniform” to indicate that energy is distributed inside a box shape of finite size, or to “Goldak” to indicate that energy is distributed over a three-dimensional space following an exponential expression given by Goldak, et al. (see Figure 3 in Thermomechanical Analysis of Powder Bed–Type Additive Manufacturing Processes Using the Trajectory-Based Method).
