Hi Akshay,

Thank you for your detailed response. I agree that it would be prudent to perform some type of experimental characterization to validate the simulations in Additive Science. However, the simulations themselves are quite involved. Does ANSYS have any guidance as to how these simulations should be experimentally validated such that the most accurate predictions of LOF porosity are provided? For example, is there a guide on performing companion single bead experiments, how these should be characterized, and how to then input this data as parameters for Additive Suite to maximize prediction accuracy? Otherwise, I am unsure how the Additive Suite can be of use for LOF porosity prediction of physical cube specimens or actual components.

Best regards,
