Hello Sebastien,
thank you very much for this idea. I will try this in the next days/week.
Best wishes

Re: Simulation of a thermal deposition process
Here is where i am on the HEAT TRANSFER study of steel wire deposition on steel plate with a Gas Metal Arc Welding process (GMAW).
Everything is written in this short report.. normally dedicated to my PhD students... i should have read it another time before putting online here.
The compressed folder should have the following files: sif, mesh (from GMSH so do an ElmerGrid before), UDF.
SIF file is slightly modified with constants defined in MATc language.
Well i'm waiting for comments... to improve it

Re: Simulation of a thermal deposition process
Hi Sebastian
Nice work! These kind of detailed descriptions are really needed to increase the usage of the software in various applicatin areas.
With quick reading I have one comment: The "Active Solvers" are used to create the field variables and the related matrices for the FEM discreatization. When you know the elements where the solver is active this can be achieved. Now the auxiliary solvers such as "SaveScalars" and "SaveLine" etc. most often do not require definition of field variables. So you don't have to add them to any list of Active Solvers. They will anyhow be execuded when their turn comes up. So you have one unnecessary step in your manual editing part...

Re: Simulation of a thermal deposition process
thank you Peter... i will update it... as soon as i can ...
It takes a long time to do such a work... i wanted to do the same with a previous work i did 3 years ago... but i lacked of time...
My idea was identical to what you said... if more users could use Elmer ... it would also help me to "meet" other scientist in my field of interest and go further in some simulations ...
Cheers

Hi, no need to edit it I just had to give one comment to prove that I read it
