Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing Simulation in Abaqus

In this tutorial, we show you how to run a complete Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing simulation in Abaqus using the powerful DFLUX subroutine. If you've been looking for a reliable way to model WAAM in Abaqus, this step-by-step guide covers everything — from thermal input setup to residual stress prediction.

This DFLUX-based Abaqus simulation of wire arc additive manufacturing gives you full control over the moving heat source, heat distribution, and mesh design — allowing for more accurate WAAM thermal modeling. You'll learn how to define boundary conditions, assign temperature-dependent material properties, and simulate realistic additive manufacturing conditions.

We walk you through the full WAAM simulation in Abaqus: how to write and modify the DFLUX subroutine, how to apply moving heat sources, and how to interpret both thermal and residual stress results from the simulation. Whether you're researching advanced manufacturing or working on industrial additive manufacturing simulations, this tutorial gives you everything you need.

👉 Watch now and master wire arc additive manufacturing simulation in Abaqus using DFLUX.
