This tutorial has been recorded using Materialise Magics Simulation Module.
Description of the different steps
- Open your build platform and go to the Simulation ribbon. Click on Simulation. Define the job name, export location, simulation types, calibration profiles to be used, and the voxel size.
- Enable Mechanical simulation. You can click on the pen icon to go to the calibration settings.
- In order to generate compensated part, enable the option. A compensated part is generated iteratively, based on the calculated deformations, until the best compensating fit is found.
- Enable Thermal simulation. You can click on the pen icon to go to the calibration settings. Define your base plate height and temperature.
- With Uniform voxel size, your part will be split into cubic voxels.
- Without Uniform voxel size, your part will be split into rectangular prismatic voxels.
- Click on Calculate preview to observe the voxelization.
- Click on OK. Your simulation job will be sent to the Job Manager.
- Go to the Job Manager:
- By default, the window will open automatically when you add a simulation job.
- If you’ve already opened it before, go to the system tray, find the Job Manager, right-click and select Show/Hide.
- Select your simulation, and click on Run.
