Reply To: Which AM DED heat source model is used?

[John Doyle]

In WB-Additive, the standard assumption during the transient thermal analysis is that the applied heat energy is uniformly shared across each cluster of elements, within the DED process.

The Goldak heat souce simulation might be possible with some MAPDL programming, but it is not automatic.

Please refer to the MAPDL Ansys Parametric Design Language Guide for details on how to set up and use parameters and parametrically driven functions.
