  • Benefits of Automatic Finite Element Mesh Adaptivity in AM Simulations

    In finite element (FE) analysis the detail in which a geometry is discretized into nodes and elements determines the system resources and computational time required to calculate the solution. A balance must always be struck between capturing all the complexity of a component and producing simulation results in a useful timeframe. The number of elements…


  • Material Based Heat Flux Approximations in the Finite Element Modeling of Laser Based Powder Bed Fusion

    In Finite Element (FE) modeling, the accuracy of any simulation is largely driven by the accuracy of the boundary conditions. In the modeling of Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) processes, the key thermal boundary conditions are: For now, lets focus on heat losses which occur during the LPBF process. Heat Loss Mechanisms In LPBF, the…


  • Why is Interoperability Important in Design?

    Interoperability is crucial to collaborative processes. When tools and technology work together to interpret, use, and exchange data seamlessly, the resulting benefits are both long-lasting and far-reaching.


  • Design for Additive Manufacturing with Fusion 360

    Additive manufacturing creates many opportunities for rapidly producing parts, although, like all manufacturing methods, it has its constraints. Due to these constraints (which can include overhangs, minimum detail size, build platform size, and more), it is important to design for additive manufacturing by considering the manufacturing method during the design process. On that note, the…
