Simulation Settings Errors

No analysis type *ANTP defined

An analysis type, either 2 for thermal or 4 for mechanical, must be specified in every input file using *ANTP.

Powder bed dwell time set by *PBDL must be positive.

The powder bed dwell time multiplier specified by *PBDL must be positive.

*PBDL Powder Bed Dwell time is used without number of layers per element
specified by *PBPA.

Powder bed dwell time *PBDL is applicable only to part level powder bed fusion analyses, with proper *PBPA, *ADAP, and *PBLR mesh settings. To add dwell time effects within the PRM generation process, use *TPRM.

*TRAN transient settings is required with *LSRP auto-generate laser path.
*TRAN transient settings is required with layers per element grouped by *PBPA.

Performing PRM generation simulations with *LSRP or part scale powder bed simulations requires the use of the timing control card *TRAN.
