PRM Generation Errors

Number of lack of fusion temperatures in file example??.prm is different than
that specified in command line. Rerun with same number the lack of fusion
temperatures or save to a new PRM file.
Lack of fusion temperatures in file example??.prm are different than that
specified in command line. Rerun with the same lack of fusion temperatures or
save to a new PRM file.
Number of hotspot temperatures in file example??.prm is different than that
specified in command line. Rerun with the same number of hotspot temperatures or
save to a new PRM file.
Hotspot temperatures in file example??.prm are different than that specified in
command line. Rerun with the same hotspot temperatures or save to a new PRM
file.

These errors occur when a user attempts to append an existing PRM file which contains lack of fusion or hotspot data, but without matching the original temperature values. The user should either create a new PRM file or correct the temperatures. Consult PRM File Generation Execution for correct usage.

Power in file example??.prm is different than that specified in the input file.
Check processing parameters or save to a new PRM file.
Radius in file example??.prm is different than that specified in the input file.
Check processing parameters or save to a new PRM file.
Speed in file example??.prm is different than that specified in the input file.
Check processing parameters or save to a new PRM file.
Layer thickness in file example??.prm is different than that specified in the
input file. Check processing parameters or save to a new PRM file.
Hatch spacing in file example??.prm is different than that specified in the input
file. Check processing parameters or save to a new PRM file.
Interlayer dwell in file example??.prm is different than that specified in the
input file. Check processing parameters or save to a new PRM file.

These errors occur when a user attempts to append an existing PRM file but without matching the original processing parameters. The user should either create a new PRM file or correct the processing parameters. Consult PRM File Generation Execution for correct usage.

Zero or negative activation temperature in the PRM file. Ensure that thermal
analysis file has been run first, *GTAB is included, and that the file name
specified by *GTAB is identical for both the thermal and mechanical input files.

This error occurs when the mechanical PRM generation input file either cannot find the PRM file specified by the *GTAB card or the thermal results have not been written to the PRM file.

Hatch spacing must be positive.
Diameter must be positive.
Travel speed must be positive.
Layer thickness must be positive.
Hatch spacing must be positive.
Dwell time must be non-negative.
Number of layers must be positive.
X width must be positive.
Y width must be positive.

These errors occur when any of the above *LSRP values are negative.

Argument 3: invalid power ##
Argument 4: invalid radius ##
Argument 5: invalid speed ##
Argument 6: invalid hatch dwell ##
Argument 7: invalid layer dwell ##

These errors will be shown when the chosen *LSRP parameters are invalid.

*TPRM must not be less than 1.0. Increase the *TPRM value.

This error occurs when the user inputs a PRM generation time scaling value, *TPRM, less than 1.

PRM generation set by *GTAB cannot be used with substrate extension using either
*SBXY or *SBDM. Remove the *SBXY or *SBDM cards from the PRM generation input
files.

PRM generation is not compatible with the substrate extension cards. Remove *SBXY or *SBDM and rerun the prm_gen command.

Input file example??.in does not contain *LSRP required to generate a PRM file.
Ensure the input files are correct and re-run prm_gen.

PRM generation simulations requires *LSRP to specify the power, velocity, and basic scan strategy information used during processing.
