Running Local Simulation

Thermal analysis

To run the model, from a command line run:

$ pan -b 06_thermal

The analysis progress is written to file 06_thermal.out. To check progress on Linux, run:

$ tail 06_thermal.out

After the analysis completes, the last few lines of the output file 06_thermal.out should be similar to the following:

inc =      16 time =   38525.953   iter =    3 eps =   0.12810E-11 
Increment end 
inc =      17 time =   88525.953   iter =    1 eps =   0.89174E+00 
inc =      17 time =   88525.953   iter =    2 eps =   0.10202E-12 
Increment end 
Analysis completed 
CPU wall=  34.96875    CPU total=  555.4205 
END PROJECT PAN

Actual CPU times will differ.

Quasi-static mechanical analysis

Run the analysis from the command line:

$ pan -b 06_mechanical

After the analysis completes, the last few lines of the output file 06_mechanical.out should be similar to the following:

Substrate removal time increment 
inc =      16 time =   188525.95   iter =      1 eps =     0.27463E+06 
inc =      16 time =   188525.95   iter =      2 eps =     0.17720E-07 
Increment end 
Analysis completed 
CPU wall=  142.7695    CPU total=  2538.382 
END PROJECT PAN

Actual CPU times will differ.

Results may be imported and viewed in ParaView.

Figures 6.2 shows the computed final distortion before the build plate is removed from the machine, after the build plate is removed from the machine, and after the part is removed from the build plate.

(a) After deposition and before build plate removal from the machine, and (b) After build plate removal from the machine

(c) After part removal from the build plate
