Hey all, question on the AM Modeler Plug In in Abaqus CAE 2022.
I'm trying to simulate a DMLM print of a simple column with a sequential thermo-mechanical, pattern-based process.
I thought I was familiar with the options in the plug-in and model, but when looking at the results, they don't make sense.
The simulation behaves as if there is no heat in the process. In visualization, I can see that the most recent layer during the build is at 3 degrees of NT11. This is obviously very wrong for a process that relies on melting of metals.

Any ideas? I've attached my CAE file and some plug-in screenshots. Any help is appreciated.
I have read the relevant articles in the knowledge base.

Double-check all the units and values, especially those related to heating (power, speed and so on). Maybe there is a mistake somewhere among this data. Thermal analyses can be particularly tricky when it comes to unit consistency.
