Abstract
In this work, the ABAQUS AM modeler was employed to simulate a Directed Energy Deposition (DED) additive manufacturing process. The modeler provides an automated interface to prescribe the imposed tool path and process conditions. Though it may take some effort to understand how to use this element-birth technique approach, it is definitely worth the effort if you want to simulate additive manufacturing or similar processes.
Highlights
Additive Manufacturing (AM) process consists of creating 3-dimensional (3D) objects through successive deposition of materials in 2D layers
The AM modeler ensures the keywords that are relevant to additive manufacturing be included in the input files when the jobs are run
The elements are activated row by row according the event series information designed to deal with heat input, material deposition, and related “Bead Width”
Summary
ABAQUS AM modeler, Directed energy deposition, Heat input, Material deposition Additive Manufacturing (AM) process consists of creating 3-dimensional (3D) objects through successive deposition of materials in 2D layers. Directed Energy Deposition (DED) is a group of AM processes that adds material alongside the heat input simultaneously.
