About This Lesson
- In Laser Processing project, we have simulated the laser-induced selective melting of bi-material particles using ANSYS Fluent software.
- Three-dimensional modeling was performed using Design Modeler software with a computational domain of 1.0 × 0.5 × 0.4 mm dimensions.
- The meshing of the model was accomplished using ANSYS Fluent Meshing software, generating approximately 800,000 computational cells with refined regions around the particle bed.
- The transient simulation employs VOF multiphase model, Solidification and Melting model, and a User-Defined Function (UDF) implementing the moving Gaussian laser heat source with laminar flow characteristics.
