Optimize for the localized maximum temperature in a line-shaped region instead of a global maximum
*DCTL
r1, r2
- r1: distance (mm)
- r2: depth multiplier (unitless)
Instead of optimizing for the global maximum temperature, as with *DCTR alone, adding the *DCTL card in conjunction with *DCTR optimizes for the localized maximum temperature in a line-shaped region within a distance r1 of the next heat source line offset by a depth of r2 times the next heat source's radius.
*DCTL has no effect by itself and must be combined with *DCTR.
