i am trying to model the mechanical and thermal properties of a AM DED laser deposited on a steel substrate. Can i achieve this in ANSYS or do i need to do experimental analysis. if yes do you have a guide on how i can go about charaterizing the properties so that i can use it in simulation.

Hi,
To model DED laser deposition on a steel substrate, Ansys provides a comprehensive solution with its Additive Suite, which includes capabilities for Direct Energy Deposition (DED) process simulation.

For further help, you can refer to the following links:
Chapter 1: Introduction to DED Additive Manufacturing
Chapter 5: Workflow Through the Project Tree
ANSYS Solutions to Metal Additive Manufacturing | Tips & Tricks Webinar (Presented on 1/22/2019) | Ansys Knowledge

I hope this helps.
