  Hi, I am aware there is a way to alter the scan pattern the laser undertakes in ANSYS Additive but I was wondering if there is a way to do this on Workbench/Mechanical. I have looked online and in the program itself but can find no way to do thisn

  WB Additive does not support the Scan Pattern Simulation available in Additive Print. nHowever, it is possible to use an Anisotropic Inherent Strain Definition with Uni-directional scan pattern to obtain something similar.nRefer to Section 6.2 of WB Additive Manufacturing Analysis Guide for more detail.nRegards,nJohnnn

  Thanks however I am varying process parameters is inherent strain is set to no. Thank you though n
