-
In the Create AM Model dialog box, select
Thermo-Mechanical as the analysis type.
-
For the process type, select Trajectory-based powder bed
fabrication, Laser direct energy deposition,
or Fusion deposition modeling.
-
Specify the thermal and structural models for the simulation, and click
OK.
A new AM model appears in the AM Modeler tree. If you expand the node for the
AM model, four subnodes display: Material Input,
Moving Heat Source, Cooling, and
Event Series.
-
From the Event Series subnode, select
Create/Edit from the mouse button 3 menu to specify any
kind of trajectory or path of the tools (such as laser beam or roller) used in
the additive manufacturing process.
See Event series for more
information.
-
From the Material Input subnode, select
Create from the mouse button 3 menu to specify all the
structural inputs for modeling the additive manufacturing process.
Abaqus/CAE populates the field with default values. Enter your desired values, and click
OK.
-
From the Moving Heat Source subnode, select
Create from the mouse button 3 menu to specify all the
thermal inputs for modeling the additive manufacturing process.
Abaqus/CAE populates the field with default values. Enter your desired values, and click
OK.
-
From the Cooling subnode, select
Create from the mouse button 3 menu to specify thermal
interactions (such as radiation and convection) on the model.
Abaqus/CAE populates the field with default values. You can define radiation and
convection cooling interaction. Enter your desired values, and click
OK.
