    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...
