  My project is to simulate a sintering process of an FDM printed cube using ANSYS, and I have successfully performed a cooling process of a cube (100%)by using transient thermal analysis. Right now, I would like to generate pores that formed after debinding on the cube and rerun the cooling process. Currently, I am trying to assign the relative density, 0.8, for the cube so that it is like having 20% porosity in the cube. Can I know that is ANSYS able to do that?
  Thank you.
  Regards Zhen Hao
