Thx. Do you have any input, or links, on the role of actual model slicing on FEA, specifically, now to accurately model it in the simulation? You touched on a couple aspects at the end, but as I'm sure you realize, the actual 3D print is far more involved: infill, perimeters, inter-layer adhesion, etc. Hm?...
There are some software packages the convert the gcode to a CAD file. They are not yet very reliable. In the near future i think i will be a python plugin in Abaqus that converts gcode to CAD.
@@RamiRouhana Thx. Perhaps I should clarify: my interest is in FEA/simulation of the various geometries (e.g. infill, etc.) and the actual full 3D print (a very complicated assembly of aspects, indeed). FYI, I can already get the geometry of the sliced model: not from g-code, but directly from the slicer. PrusaSlicer has 'Export toolpaths to OBJ'. Cool, eh?
@@swamihuman9395 I will check that . ypu still need to convert the obj to CAD. Another problem would be surface quality for abaqus meshing. You will need to clean the OBJ for proper meshing.
@@RamiRouhana Thx. There will indeed be many problems! Ultimately, a mesh is used for the FEA, but are you saying Abaqus requires a 3D solid first? And, although Abaqus is capable, currently I only have access to SOLIDWORKS, and Fusion 360.
@@swamihuman9395 Solidworks FEA is not that reliable. Another reason you do not need a detailed model but rather just use a shell. A detailed model is only usefull for an accurate simulatiin on abaqus. That is why i describe a simplified approach in those videos.
@@NSEERAPUMANOHAR there are scripts develeppoed in CAD to do it, not yet available withe software,and not very stable. The ony way now woud be to script yourself or do it manually if the part is simple.
nice video
Wow, didn't know about that feature, LOVE it !
awesome video

sir..what if I wanted to know about the exact analysis of 3D printed part on considering the infill ,mesh density etc..
You will need to model in CAD all the details.
@@RamiRouhana can we make exact pattern of slicing in CAD by using (liner pattern and sketch patterns etc..)?? is it possible
