    Distance between contour lines.

    Thanks for the help. I'll change to a line contour and try using external image processing.

    Distance between contour lines.

    Hello, Im have simulated the heat transfer process during Selective Laser Melting. I want to be able to measure the size of the melt pool dimensions. I have set a maximum contour limit to the melting temperature so the melt pool can be seen. Is it possible to measure the distance between two...

    USDFLD to represent powder melting in Additive Manufacturing

    The following paper is an example of what I would like to use USDFLD for. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1110016818302357

    USDFLD to represent powder melting in Additive Manufacturing

    I havn't used another subroutine to model the change from powder to solid. I thought that's what I was doing with my USDFLD subroutine, i.e. use field varable as 0 until the temperature reaches melting and then change the field variable to 1 representing the solid. Ive attached a bit more of...

    USDFLD to represent powder melting in Additive Manufacturing

    Originally I had the properties as temperature dependent but depending on the state (powder/solid) there will be two values of conductivity (0.2/7 W/mk at 298K) for the one temperature. I would prefer to use subroutines as in the future i plan to model the volume fraction of allotropic phases...

    USDFLD to represent powder melting in Additive Manufacturing

    Hi, I'm trying to use the USDFLD subroutine to change the material properites of a part depending on whether it is in powder or solid form. The idea is as follows: - Start in powder form (0) - Apply heat using DFLUX subroutine to simulate laser - Once Melting temp is reached use solid...

    Abaqus Subroutines in ISight

    Thanks I got it working correctly. My Abaqus was not configured correctly to run subroutines using the abaqus.bat command. I used Habtamu Tadesse's post here: https://www.researchgate.net/post/How_resolve_ifort_error_while_running_FORTRAN_code_in_abaqus to comprehensively configure Abaqus with...

    Abaqus Subroutines in ISight

    Where/how do I provide the subroutine to the component? Is it provided as a file parameter in the execution tab. Also should my execution tab be similar to the following: "abaqus.bat input=EXAMPLE.inp job=EXAMPLE user=EXAMPLE interactive"? Should the abaqus.bat be change?

    Abaqus Subroutines in ISight

    Is it possible to use subroutines when running Abaqus through Isight? I've searched through the User Guide and through online forums however I can not find any examples or if it is possible. I believe it is possible using the OS command component but using the Abaqus component would make it...

    Simulating Additive Manufacturing

    Hi all, I've been trying to explore the software that is capable in simulating additive manufacturing(AM), on the micro and macro scale. So far I haven't been able to find much information on what is possible within ABAQUS. There are several webinars and e-learning sources available that state...
