The second simulation explicitly models the loose powder and the interaction between the parts and the powder through conduction.

The first simulation does not model the loose powder and instead approximates energy lost by conduction into the powder as an artificial heat loss prescribed to the external surfaces of the geometry. Right-click the View Cube, and click Custom View Orientation to enter the Custom View environment. To change orientation of an existing view, double-click the view. Then select a model file in the Drawing View dialog box. For additional assistance, post questions in our DWG Viewer Community discussions. Part/Powder Interactionĭescription: Two simulations are run to investigate the effect of including loose powder in an analysis. To create a view, click Place Views tabCreate panel Baseon the ribbon. For product installation process, use the following resource: General installation workflow for Autodesk Products. Between 20, over $7.3M USD has been spent validating the Netfabb Simulation solver predictions by comparing them with the experimental results for materials, print parameters and design cases/geometries to help customers save time and money minimizing failures with metal additive manufacturing.

Thermomechanical simulation, especially Netfabb’s multi-scale approach, provides a big advantage. With so many variables across materials, machines, and part designs, it is almost impossible to know the formula for success. Trial and error is especially costly in metal additive manufacturing.
