Abstract Scope |
Many new software tools dedicated to the simulation of additive manufacturing (AM) processes have been commercialised recently. Most employ the finite element (FE) method to solve the governing equations that modellers use to describe the AM processes. NAFEMS, the International Agency for Finite Element Methods and -Standards, is known for its benchmarks of finite element problems. NAFEMS's Metal Additive Manufacturing Focus Group are preparing a set of benchmark cases, complementary to other initiatives, such as AMbench. Two examples: one case is designed to test the capability of an FE implementation to predict buckling, which often occurs during the building of thin-walled AM parts. Another to test the capability to capture problems of large displacement during build. All combined, they provide a comprehensive set for modellers, to test their simulations against real-life AM aspects. |
