Hello,

We recently broadcasted a live eSeminar entitled Using Simulation to Accelerate the Adoption of Additive Manufacturing in Industry.  If you missed the eSeminar, here is your chance to view it now with the media link below.  Key takeaways include:

• An overview of Additive Manufacturing trends and challenges seen in industry today
• An brief overview of Dassault Systemes and SIMULIA brand
• A peak into some of the high-level public engagements that are driving the Dassault Systemes Additive Manufacturing development efforts
• The scope of SIMULIA’s simulation solutions for addressing key challenges in Additive Manufacturing processes
• Generative Design functionality for producing functionally-driven designs for Additive Manufacturing
• Technology for producing arbitrary lattice structures and optimizing lattice members for specific loading scenarios
• Addressing the challenge of geometry reconstruction from an optimization result
• A definition of the gap between the “as-designed” and “as-manufactured” part
• A description of how our successfully used welding solutions served as the starting point for developing our Additive Manufacturing solution
• New developments that enable full-scale efficient Additive Manufacturing simulation solving for temperature, distortion, and residual stress
• Details of how we are addressing the pre-processing challenges associated with Additive Manufacturing (capturing the path)
• Solutions and performance scaling in Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit
• Material considerations and our multi-scale simulation strategy, in concert with the BIOVIA brand
• Parametric optimization to minimize the gap between the “as-designed” and the “as-manufactured” part
• Post-processing considerations for understanding support removal, residual stress, and springback
• Process-in-the-loop optimization possibilities using quick process simulations in Abaqus/Standard
• Process-specific considerations

Here is a LinkedIn article that we’ve written to supplement the eSeminar.  Please read it at your leisure and leave comments on LinkedIn if you have any.
