We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Thank you very much for the fast reply.

Yes, the laser just needs to dance on top of the tooth. I followed the tutorial by Steffen B. to create the original code.

I chose the volumetric heat generation to apply a 3-dimensional gauss structure to the laser, as that was one of the requirements i got for this project. Is there another way to achieve this? 

Is there a way to implement a function into this code structure to make it follow a Lissajoux-path? 

Please excuse me if any of my questions seem nonsensical or basic, they are ment genuinely. I am not very proficient in APDL and trying my hardest to complete this project, we do not have any experts on this kind of simulation in our institute. Learned Ansys Mechanical through online tutorials.
