Event series

You can use the additive manufacturing plug-in to define an event series.

  1. In the AM Modeler tab, select Event Series Create/Edit.
  2. Select the model in the Model box.
  3. Select Event Series Type.

    Abaqus/CAE populates some default built-in Event Series Types for the additive manufacturing process.

  4. Optional: You can select Custom in the Event Series Type box and define your own type.

    A new Event Series Structure tab appears. Specify the name of the Event Series Type, fields number, and fields names. The fields described below appear on the new Event Series Data tab.

  5. Specify the Event series name.
  6. Specify the time span as either Step time or Total time.
  7. Specify the field values.

    You can specify field values through a SIM, INP, or CSV file or enter the values directly in a table. Select the appropriate entry from the Data source list, and specify the file or the table entries.

  8. To define additional event series, create additional tabs by clicking the + symbol.

    Repeat the above step for each event series.

  9. Click OK to finish defining the event series.
