From the Autodesk blog:
“Netfabb 2019 is here! This latest release brings updates to two of the most powerful Netfabb features: simulation and latticing, in addition to new features focused on improved productivity – from new support actions, to machine workspaces and new cloud viewing.
Simulation:
Cloud based, multi-scale, metal powder bed process simulation is now available for Netfabb subscribers beginning at the Premium tier.
With metal additive manufacturing, the stakes are high. Materials are expensive and lead times are continually compressed. The ability to anticipate your outcomes can often save the day, and the project. From additive consultancies to industrial innovation labs and research facilities, industry leaders turn to Netfabb Simulation. Now, this same simulation capability is available in the cloud, allowing you the ability to pay for simulation only when you need it.
Here’s how it works:
Netfabb simulation uses a multi-scale modeling approach.
- For ultimate accuracy, input machine parameters and material properties to develop your PRM file.
- Simulate large complex parts with a fully predictive part-scale simulation which captures the complex thermal and mechanical interaction between parts during the build process.
- As you see in the chart below, the cloud credit cost for a PRM file is fixed, but part-scale simulation is dependent upon the complexity of your parts. When you submit a simulation, you will receive a price for the simulation cloud credit cost and have the ability to proceed or stop.(…)”
