This option enables generating the point clouds and corresponding node sets to use with *BOUNDARY_THERMAL_WELD_TRAJECTORY for welding or 3D printing simulations, and if this option is used, you must provide the corresponding mesh. Advanced options calculate velocities as ON or OFF curves that are provided by the GCODE input. Generate this input using the available free Ultimaker Cura software. This option is under development, therefore feedback is highly appreciated.
This section covers the following:
SourceFile = STRING | Define the name and, if needed, the path of the source file. |
SourceFileFormat = GCODE | Enables specifying the source file format. |
MappingResult = STRING | Define the result file name. The mapping result is written into this newly generated file. |
DUPLICATE PATH = YES NO | Activate path duplications. This option is useful when only a single node layer is provided for the bottom layer. If defined, you must also define the remaining options below. |
NUM LAYERS = INT | Number of layers that are generated through duplications. |
THICKNESS = DOUBLE | User-defined input for the thickness of each duplicated layer. |
