*DDMP: Switch for Powder-Bed Modeling During Moving-Source Modeling

*DDMP

The option should be used when powder elements are present and has the following effects:

  • The temperature of the quiet elements is not reset to the initial temperature upon their activation.
  • Layers contain all elements, even those not activated as the powder is always included in the analysis, unlike direct processes, where the material is added.

Required Cards: Use *DDM1 or *DDMM to define powder properties and *DDM! to define element activation.
