Simulation Settings Critical Warnings

Part scale plasticity is enabled without plasticity properties assigned for build
plate material ##. Stresses will be qualitative and post EDM displacements will
be exaggerated.

When *PPLA part scale plasticity is enabled, this critical warning is generated if the build plate properties are specified using *MATE and *MATI, which do not contain the *PLAS card. Lacking these properties, the build plate will not be able to yield during the post-process plasticity step, which will lead to excessive stresses and distortions.

CLI type support structures have been deprecated due to poor meshing behavior.
Consider replacing the CLI support file with a STL support file.

CLI support structures are not recommended for use with Netfabb Simulation.

Powder bed side convection set by *PBCP is used without powder properties being
enabled via *+PDR. *PBCP convection values will be ignored.

Powder bed side convection *PBCP requires powder elements to be enabled via +PDR.

Substrate bottom convection set by *PCSB is used with a constantly heated
substrate, controlled by *PBSH. *PCSB convection values will be ignored.

Powder bed bottom convection *PCSB will be overridden by using a heated substrate, set by *PBSH.

Substrate side convection set by *PCSS is used with an insulated substrate set by
*PBIS. *PCSS convection values will be ignored.

Using an insulated substrate by *PBIS will not apply any substrate side convection set by PBIS.
