Hi,

My student is working on direct energy deposition where he uses ANSYS to model a moving heat source with the element birth/death capability. He has created an APDL code. We ran the APDL code in ANSYS 16.2 and it resulted in what we expected. We ran the code in ANSYS 14.5, but it seems that element death is not working at all. For this case, heat is going through the dead elements, that is not correct.
Has anyone had similar experience?

Thanks,
