Predict the thermomechanical response of additive parts during the MPBF and DED manufacturing processes.

• Adaptive meshing and the physics-based, multiscale approach help keep processing time low and accuracy high.
• Use multiscale modeling to predict the thermal and mechanical response of parts and help reduce build failures.
• Simulate full builds for both powder-fed and wire-fed DED processes with Netfabb Local Simulation.
• Generate PRM files based on chosen material and process parameters for increased accuracy.
• Simulate the additive manufacturing process for powder bed fusion to identify potential causes of build failures.
• Capture interactions between parts and the distortion of the build plate.
• Design appropriate heat treatment cycles by inputting the temperature versus time curve of the desired process.
• Identify possible build failures with powder bed processes that may cause equipment damage.
  
• Predict support failure to aid in the design and placement of support structures.
• Predict how metal additive manufacturing parts will deform to help reduce build failures.
• Model the conduction of energy into the loose powder to increase your model’s accuracy.
• Accurately calculate residual stresses and strains built up during the additive manufacturing process to identify likely regions of failure.
• Simulate the mechanical response of a deposited part after removal from the build plate to calculate the final distortion.
• Apply multiscale modeling to predict regions of a build that get too hot or not hot enough during processing.
• Automatically compensate geometries based on simulation results to achieve the desired shape when printed.
