*LSRM: Multi-material LSR file

Specifies source for multi-material information for moving-source simulations

*LSRM
a1

a1: LSR filename

The *LSRM card enables a moving source simulation with multiple deposition materials. The file format is nearly identical to the traditional 2.5D *LSRF file but with one additional column used to specify the material ID of each laser line. The file format is:

r11, r12, r13, r14, r15, r16, r17, r18, r19, r1(10), r1(11), r1(12), r1(13), i11
r21, r22, r23, r24, r25, r26, r27, r28, r29, r2(10), r2(11), r2(12), r2(13), i21
...

r11: r*8: power

r12, r13, r14: r*8: vector of heat source direction

r15, r16, r17: r*8: start point

r18, r19, r1(10): r*8: end point

r1(11): r*8: melt pool radius

r1(12): r*8: velocity

r1(13): r*8: start time

i11: i*4: material ID

Each *LSRM material ID must have a corresponding *MATE and *MATI entry.
