This card generates a laser path for a rectangular patch with an area of r9 x r10. The path is stored as text file in <filename>.lsr, and used for the analysis. The value of the top substrate z coordinate is defined by the DDM! The laser path extends out of the part by a distance equal to the melt pool radius (r2).
Typically the radius of the melt pool (r2) is about twice the radius of the laser beam.
The figure below depicts an example schematic of the first two build layers using paths generated using *LSRP.
