The initial time step is so small because each time step is very small, sometimes only fractions of a second. The entire simulation only covers a couple of seconds of transient behavior, so each time step is very small. Unfortunately, I do not have access to a cluster at this time, so I'm...
Hello,
I am currently adapting an already existing Abaqus Model of an Additive Manufacturing process that includes a moving heat source along a substrate. The current model (190 different load steps) uses the temperature dependent properties of Ti-64 and runs completely within a day. When I...
