Simulate Laser Melting for Additive Manufacturing in Abaqus – Step by Step

The Best Way to Simulate Selective Laser Melting SLM in ABAQUS — this is the cleanest, most efficient SLM thermal simulation tutorial on YouTube. In this video, you'll learn how to simulate Selective Laser Melting (SLM) in Abaqus using a full thermal-only setup — no stress complications, just pure heat transfer modeling.

We’ll walk step-by-step through how to define a moving heat source for SLM, apply laser-based heat input, assign temperature-dependent material properties, mesh your model correctly, and visualize thermal history results.

This Selective Laser Melting Abaqus simulation tutorial is ideal for researchers, engineering students, and professionals looking to model metal 3D printing. Whether you're doing research or running industry-grade additive manufacturing simulations, this tutorial gives you a reliable foundation for thermal analysis.
