Scale simulation to even the most complex geometries With Multi-Grid Modeling
Tradition FEA simulation approaches result in exploding runtimes and memory consumption as models increase in size
Multi-Grid Modeling solves this problem by allowing for nearly linearly scaling of performance as model size increases
All while maintaining the accuracy of the finest mesh!
Efficiently simulate large DED builds
PanX is not limited to LPBF simulations, but is also applicable to DED, welding, and cladding processes
Our novel part-scale simulation approach can efficiently simulate even the largest DED parts
Dramatically reduce simulation hardware requirements
Fast runtimes, low memory consumption, and small output data size makes it possible to run relatively complex parts even on a laptop
Geometries, such as the one shown, are notoriously computationally expensive due to the combination of thin (down to the resolution of the machine) and thick sections
Optimize Support design
Total runtime: 31 seconds on an 8 core laptop.
Minimize support volume while limiting recoater jams or part temperature for Laser Powder Bed Fusion builds
Efficient gradient-based MMA optimizer allows results to converge in just a few iterations
Solver computes sensitivities (adjoint problem for manufacturing)
Optimize laser scanning strategy
Optimize laser scan power point-by-point for the full scan path of the build to maintain a constant melt pool volume
Results into uniform melting, eliminates key-holing, and improves overall part quality
