The manuals listed below form the Additive Solutions product documentation set.
| Additive Manufacturing - Release notes. |
| LPBF Simulation Guide - Describes how to perform a laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process simulation in Workbench/Mechanical. |
| DED Simulation Guide - Describes how to perform a directed energy deposition (DED) process simulation using the DED Process Add-on in Workbench/Mechanical. |
| Sintering Simulation Guide - Describes how to perform a sintering simulation using the Sintering Process Add-on in Workbench/Mechanical. |
| Sintering Calibration Guide - Provides guidelines for collecting experimental data and calibrating a sintering material. |
| Distortion Compensation Guide - Guide for using the Distortion Compensation Add-on for LPBF and sintering simulations in Workbench/Mechanical. The add-on offers options for both single and iterative distortion compensation. Iterative compensation automatically iterates through solutions and generates an optimized compensation geometry so that after loading or processing, a geometry deforms to within the desired tolerance range. |
| Additive Prep User's Guide - User's Guide for Additive Prep, a tool that allows you to prepare parts that will be additively manufactured. |
| Additive Print and Science User's Guide - User's Guide for Ansys Additive. Applies to Additive Print and Additive Science. |
| Additive Print and Science Calibration Guide - Includes instructions for performing a calibration for the Additive Print software so that simulations are more accurate. |
