hello
I want to convert gcode data file into event series data for Abaqus AM modeler?

Several tutorial files are available in the Knowledge Base article "Abaqus/CAE Plug-in Utility for Additive Manufacturing Process Simulation". The same one that provides the generateEventSeries.py script.
 
thank you!!
I want to do a tensile test on 3D printed part. so for finite element analysis abaqus is suitable?
 
Sure, Abaqus has advanced built-in features for additive manufacturing process simulations. When the analysis of the process is done, you can use the model for further static strength assesment. Thanks to the previous thermo-mechanical simulation you will be able to account for residual stresses caused by manufacturing.
 
Thank you.
Actually I am using ultimaker cura for slicing.
so I generate g code file from that software so that can I convert into event series data?
 
The script is designed for use with gCode generated in ReplicatorG software. You may have to edit some parts of the code to make it work with paths from other programs.
 
ReplicatorG is open-source software so you can download it for free from its website or from GitHub. It's not very user-friendly, hasn't been updated for several years and has outdated GUI but should be sufficient in many cases.
 
Hello
I want to find the density of my part from slicing software (ultimaker cura)?
 
In Abaqus you can use Query --> Mass properties on imported part for this purpose.
