*AUTM: Auto Mesh Generation

*AUTM

This card automatically generates an input mesh for moving source analyses, including PRM generation and direct process simulations.

For moving source powder-bed analyses, *LSRP and *DDM! specify model volume and thickness, respectively, while the mesh parameters are determined by *ADAP and *ADP1.

For direct processes, geometry is defined by the deposition volume in *LSRF and depth set by *DDM! and the mesh refinement is controlled by by *ADAP, *NELR, and *ADP1.

Additional substrate volume can be specified by extension via *SBXY or by specifying minimum and maximum X and Y coordinates using *SBDM. Substrate depth is also controlled via *DDM!.
