Modeling of Thermal Processes in DED Using SolidWorks Simulation

ENG: The study analyzes software products for numerical modeling of additive processes performed using SLM and DED technologies. Determining temperature fields in DMD processes is an important and complex task. Based on previously determined experimental data on the volume of molten material added during cladding, the thermal processes during laser cladding of powder materials were modeled in the SolidWorks system. This allowed determining the distribution of temperature fields on the substrate and in the cladded material over time.
