FLOW-3D AM 은 레이저 파우더 베드 융합 (L-PBF), 바인더 제트 및 DED (Directed Energy Deposition)와 같은 적층 제조 공정 ( additive manufacturing )을 시뮬레이션하고 분석하는 CFD 소프트웨어입니다. FLOW-3D AM 의 다중 물리 기능은 공정 매개 변수의 분석 및 최적화를 위해 분말 확산 및 압축, 용융 풀 역학, L-PBF 및 DED에 대한 다공성 형성, 바인더 분사 공정을위한 수지 침투 및 확산에 대한 매우 정확한 시뮬레이션을 제공합니다.
3D 프린팅이라고도하는 적층 제조(additive manufacturing)는 일반적으로 층별 접근 방식을 사용하여, 분말 또는 와이어로 부품을 제조하는 방법입니다. 금속 기반 적층 제조 공정에 대한 관심은 지난 몇 년 동안 시작되었습니다. 오늘날 사용되는 3 대 금속 적층 제조 공정은 PBF (Powder Bed Fusion), DED (Directed Energy Deposition) 및 바인더 제트 ( Binder jetting ) 공정입니다. FLOW-3D AM 은 이러한 각 프로세스에 대한 고유 한 시뮬레이션 통찰력을 제공합니다.
파우더 베드 융합 및 직접 에너지 증착 공정에서 레이저 또는 전자 빔을 열원으로 사용할 수 있습니다. 두 경우 모두 PBF용 분말 형태와 DED 공정용 분말 또는 와이어 형태의 금속을 완전히 녹여 융합하여 층별로 부품을 형성합니다. 그러나 바인더 젯팅(Binder jetting)에서는 결합제 역할을 하는 수지가 금속 분말에 선택적으로 증착되어 층별로 부품을 형성합니다. 이러한 부품은 더 나은 치밀화를 달성하기 위해 소결됩니다.
FLOW-3D AM 의 자유 표면 추적 알고리즘과 다중 물리 모델은 이러한 각 프로세스를 높은 정확도로 시뮬레이션 할 수 있습니다. 레이저 파우더 베드 융합 (L-PBF) 공정 모델링 단계는 여기에서 자세히 설명합니다. DED 및 바인더 분사 공정에 대한 몇 가지 개념 증명 시뮬레이션도 표시됩니다.
레이저 파우더 베드 퓨전 (L-PBF)
L-PBF 공정에는 유체 흐름, 열 전달, 표면 장력, 상 변화 및 응고와 같은 복잡한 다중 물리학 현상이 포함되어 공정 및 궁극적으로 빌드 품질에 상당한 영향을 미칩니다. FLOW-3D AM 의 물리적 모델은 질량, 운동량 및 에너지 보존 방정식을 동시에 해결하는 동시에 입자 크기 분포 및 패킹 비율을 고려하여 중규모에서 용융 풀 현상을 시뮬레이션합니다.
FLOW-3D DEM 및 FLOW-3D WELD 는 전체 파우더 베드 융합 공정을 시뮬레이션하는 데 사용됩니다. L-PBF 공정의 다양한 단계는 분말 베드 놓기, 분말 용융 및 응고,이어서 이전에 응고 된 층에 신선한 분말을 놓는 것, 그리고 다시 한번 새 층을 이전 층에 녹이고 융합시키는 것입니다. FLOW-3D AM 은 이러한 각 단계를 시뮬레이션하는 데 사용할 수 있습니다.
파우더 베드 부설 공정
FLOW-3D DEM을 사용하면 아래 동영상처럼 입자의 분포를 무작위로 떨어뜨려 파우더 베드 배치 프로세스를 시뮬레이션할 수 있습니다.
다양한 파우더 베드 압축을 달성하는 한 가지 방법은 베드를 놓는 동안 다양한 입자 크기 분포를 선택하는 것입니다. 아래에서 볼 수 있듯이 세 가지 크기의 입자 크기 분포가 있으며, 이는 가장 높은 압축을 제공하는 Case 2와 함께 다양한 분말 베드 압축을 초래합니다.
세 가지 다른 입자 크기 분포를 사용하여 파우더 베드 배치세 가지 다른 입자 크기 분포를 사용한 분말 베드 압축
입자-입자 상호 작용, 유체-입자 결합 및 입자 이동 물체 상호 작용은 FLOW-3D DEM을 사용하여 자세히 분석 할 수도 있습니다 . 또한 입자간 힘을 지정하여 분말 살포 응용 분야를 보다 정확하게 연구 할 수도 있습니다.
이 FLOW-3D AM 시뮬레이션은 이산 요소 방법 (DEM)을 사용하여 역 회전하는 원통형 롤러로 인한 분말 확산을 연구합니다. 비디오 시작 부분에서 빌드 플랫폼이 위로 이동하는 동안 분말 저장소가 아래로 이동합니다. 그 직후, 롤러는 분말 입자 (초기 위치에 따라 색상이 지정됨)를 다음 층이 녹고 구축 될 준비를 위해 구축 플랫폼으로 펼칩니다. 이러한 시뮬레이션은 저장소에서 빌드 플랫폼으로 전송되는 분말 입자의 선호 크기에 대한 추가 통찰력을 제공 할 수 있습니다.
파우더 베드 용해
파우더 베드를 놓은 후 FLOW-3D WELD 에서 레이저 빔 공정 매개 변수를 지정 하여 고 충실도 용융 풀 시뮬레이션을 수행 할 수 있습니다 . 온도, 속도, 고체 분율, 온도 구배 및 고체 속도의 플롯을 자세히 분석 할 수 있습니다.
레이저 출력 200W, 스캔 속도 3.0m / s, 스폿 반경 100μm에서 파우더 베드의 용융 풀 분석.
용융 풀이 응고되면 FLOW-3D AM 압력 및 온도 데이터를 Abaqus 또는 MSC Nastran과 같은 FEA 도구로 가져와 응력 윤곽 및 변위 프로파일을 분석 할 수도 있습니다.
다층 적층 제조
첫 번째 용융 층이 응고되면 입자의 두 번째 층이 응고 층에 증착됩니다. 새로운 분말 입자 층에 레이저 공정 매개 변수를 지정하여 용융 풀 시뮬레이션을 다시 수행합니다. 이 프로세스를 여러 번 반복하여 연속적으로 응고 된 층 간의 융합, 빌드 내 온도 구배를 평가하는 동시에 다공성 또는 기타 결함의 형성을 모니터링 할 수 있습니다.
바인더 분사 (Binder jetting)
Binder jetting 시뮬레이션은 모세관 힘의 영향을받는 파우더 베드에서 바인더의 확산 및 침투에 대한 통찰력을 제공합니다. 공정 매개 변수와 재료 특성은 증착 및 확산 공정에 직접적인 영향을 미칩니다.
방향성 에너지 증착
FLOW-3D AM 의 내장 입자 모델 을 사용하여 직접 에너지 증착 프로세스를 시뮬레이션 할 수 있습니다. 분말 주입 속도와 고체 기질에 입사되는 열유속을 지정함으로써 고체 입자는 용융 풀에 질량, 운동량 및 에너지를 추가 할 수 있습니다. 다음 비디오에서 고체 금속 입자가 용융 풀에 주입되고 기판에서 용융 풀의 후속 응고가 관찰됩니다.
FLOW DEM
FLOW DEM 은 FLOW-3D 의 기체 및 액체 유동 해석에 DEM(Discrete Element Method : 개별 요소법)공법인 입자의 거동을 분석해주는 모듈입니다.
주요 기능 :
고체 요소의 충돌, 스프링(Spring) / 대시 포트(Dash Pot) 모델 적용 Void, 1 fluid, 2 fluid(자유 계면 포함) 각각의 모드에 대응 가변 밀도 / 가변 직경 입자 크기조절로 입자 특성을 유지하면서 입자 수를 감소 독립적인 DEM의 Sub Time Step 이용
Discrete Element Method : 개별 요소법
다수의 고체 요소의 충돌 운동을 분석하는 데 유용합니다. 유동 해석과 함께 사용하면 광범위한 용도에 응용을 할 수 있습니다.
입자 간의 충돌
Voigt model은 스프링(Spring) 및 대시 포트(Dash pot)의 조합에 의해 입자 충돌 시의 힘을 평가합니다. 탄성력 부분은 스프링 모델에서, 비탄성 충돌의 에너지 소산부분은 대시 포트 모델에서 시뮬레이션되고 있으며, 중량 및 항력은 작용하는 외력으로 고려 될 수 있습니다.
분석 모드
기본적으로 이용하는 운동 방정식은 FLOW-3D 에 사용되는 질량 입자의 운동 방정식과 같은 것이지만, 여기에 DEM으로 평가되는 항목이 추가되기 형태로되어 있으며, 실제 시뮬레이션으로는 ‘void + DEM’, ‘1 Fluid + DEM’ , ‘ 1 Fluid 자유계면 + DEM ‘을 기본 유동 모드로 취급이 가능합니다.
입자 유형
입자 타입도 표준 기능의 질량 입자 모델처럼 입자 크기 (반경)와 밀도가 동일한 것 외, 크기는 같지만 밀도가 다른 것이나 밀도는 같지만 크기가 다른 것 등도 취급 가능합니다. 이로 인해 표준 질량 입자 모델에서는 입자 간의 상호 작용이 고려되어 있지 않기 때문에 모든 아래에 가라 앉아 버리고 있었지만, FLOW DEM을 이용하여 기하학적 관계를 평가하는 것이 가능합니다.
DEM은 일반적으로 다수의 입자를 필요로하는 분석을 상정하고 있습니다. 다만 이 경우, 계산 부하가 높아 지므로 현실적인 계산자원을 고려하면, 입자 수가 너무 많아 현실적으로 취급 할 수 없는 경우 입자의 특성은 유지하고 숫자를 줄여 가시화할 필요가 있습니다 . 일반적인 유동해석 계산의 메쉬 해상도에 해당합니다. 메쉬 수 많음 (계산 부하 큼) → 소 (계산 부하 적음) 입자 수 다 (계산 부하 큼) → 소 (계산 부하 적음)
원래 입자수입자 사이즈를 키운경우그룹 가시화
입자 수를 줄이기 위해 그대로 입경을 크게했을 경우와 그룹 가시화 한 경우의 비교.
입자 크기를 크게하면 개별 입자 특성이 달라지기 때문에 거동이 달라진다. (본 사례에서는 부력이 커진다.)
그룹 가시화의 경우 개별 특성은 동일 원래의 거동과 대체로 일치한다.
주조 시뮬레이션에 DEM 적용
그룹 가시화 비교 예
그룹 가시화한 경우와 입경을 크게하여 수를 줄인 경우, 입경을 크게하면 개별 입자 특성이 변화하여 거동이 바뀌어 버리기 때문에 실제 계산으로는 사용할 수 어렵습니다.
중자 모래 분사 분석
DEM에서의 계산부하를 생각할 때는 입자모델에 의한 안정제한을 고려해야 하지만 서브타임스텝이라는 개념을 도입함으로써 입자의 경우와 유체의 경우의 타임스텝을 바꾸고 필요이상으로 계산시간을 들이지 않고 효율적으로 계산하는 것을 가능하게 하고 있습니다.
이를 통해 예를 들어 중자사 분사 시뮬레이션 실험에서는 이러한 문제로 자주 이용되는 빙엄 유체에서는 실험과의 정합성이 별로 좋지 않기 때문에 당사에서는 이전부터 입상류 모델이라는 모델을 개발하고 연속체로부터의 접근에서도 실험과의 높은 정합성을 실현할 수 있는 모델화를 해왔는데, 이번에 DEM을 사용해도 그것과 거의 같은 결과를 얻습니다. 할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Cooling Channels & Heat Transfer Coefficients with Mould 냉각채널 및 몰드와의 열전달
영구 몰드와 다이캐스팅에서 냉각채널은 몰드 뿐만 아니라 주조품 내 잠재적으로 수축공을 형성할 수 있는 고온 부위에서 열을 제거하는데 이용된다. FLOW-3D 에서 냉각 채널유동은 직접 모델링되지 않고 대신에 냉각작용이 균일한 유효 열전달계수와 냉각채널의 온도를 이용하여 개략적으로 모델링 된다. 이 절은 사용자가 다음 내용들을 어떻게 하는지 보여준다.
냉각채널 정의
냉각채널과 몰드 간의 열전달계수 결정
1. How to Define Cooling Channels / 냉각채널 정의법
냉각채널을 생성하기 위해 다음 단계를 따라 한다.
Model Setup → Physics 탭으로부터 Heat Transfer 를 활성화한다.
냉각선을 STL 파일 또는 기초요소를 이용하여 다이를 기술하는 요소의 부 요소로 추가한다. 고유한 물성(온도, 열전달계수, 제어유형, 등)을 갖는 냉각채널은 별도의 부 요소로 정의되어야 한다. 같은 물성을 갖는 냉각채널은 하나의 부 요소로써 모델링 될 수 있다. 이런 각 부 요소를 위해 Cooling channel 를 선택한다.
Cooling channel temperature
를 정의한다.
Cooling channel heat transfer coefficient
를 정의한다.
Cooling channel control type
을 선정한다.
Controlled by time 이 선정되면 냉각채널의 시간 조절표를 정의한다.
Controlled by thermocouple 이 선정되면 이력탐색번호(탐색은 이전에 몰드 안에서 정의되어야 한다)와 온도 가동/비가동 온도를 선택한다.
탐색은 벽 온도가 감시되는 위치를 정의한다. 냉각 유형이 선택되면 지정 probe가 있는 곳의 벽 온도가 가동 온도에 도달할 때 냉각채널이 가동되고 비가동온도에 도달할 때까지 온도가 감소되며 가동이 유지된다. 그러므로 가동온도는 비가동 온도보다 높아야 한다. 가열 유형이 선택되면 냉각채널은 지정된 probe의 벽 온도가 가동온도보다 내려가면 가동되고 비가동온도가 유지될 때까지 가열이 유지된다. 그러므로 가동온도는 비가동 온도보다 낮아야 한다.
냉각채널의 상태변화가 있을 때마다 메시지가 화면, HD3MSG, HD3OUT, 그리고 REPORT 파일에 쓰여질 것이다.
Note:
지정된 probe가 정의되지 않았거나 유효하지 않으면 냉각채널은 꺼질 것이다. 가동/비가동 온도가 옳게 지정되지 않으면 냉각채널은 비 가동될 것이다.
Controlled by total heat 가 선택되면 critical total heat 및 the cooling channel on/off status time table을 정의해야 한다.
이 조절 선택을 택하고 제거되거나(냉각) 추가된 전체 열(가열)이 critical total heat 보다 클 때 냉각채널은 작동이 중지될 것이다. 이는 status time table 과 함께 작동할 것이다. 다른 말로, 아직 status time table이 정상적으로 주어질 수 있고 전체 열 조절과 함께 작동할 것이다. 그리고 나서 냉각채널은 status time table 에 의해 작동될 수 있다. 그러나 냉각채널을 위한 전체 열 계산은 작동 시작 후 0에서 다시 시작할 것이다.
열 다이사이클링 시뮬레이션에서 각 사이클 초기에 냉각채널이 가동되고 전체 열 계산은 0으로 재 지정된다. 이는 한 사이클 동안에 냉각채널 전체 열이 임계값에 도달하지 않은 상황을 고려하는 것이나 전체 열 계산은 각 사이클에서 0으로 재지정되어야 한다.
냉각채널에 상태변화가 있을 때마다 total heat control 이나 time table 에 의한 것인지에 상관없이 메시지가 시뮬레이션 화면, hd3msg.*, hd3out.*, 그리고 report.*에 쓰여질 것이다. 냉각채널 상황도 또한 General history 에 쓰여질 것이다.
냉각채널의 total heat history 는 열 유동량의 일반 이력을 적분함으로써 보여질 수 있다.
코드가 status time table 에서 지정된 잠금/열림 상태변화를 구별할 수 있도록 상태변화 사이의 시간 간격은 time steps보다 커야 한다.
재시작이 제대로 작동하기 위해 냉각채널 색인은 재시작 시뮬레이션에서 재시작 소스에서와 같아야 한다.
냉각채널온도, 열전달계수 그리고 시간 조절 표에서 정의된 값들은 t 와 t + 1 사이 구간 내 일정하며 t 에서 정의된 값과 같다. 실제 시뮬레이션 시간이 표에서 정의된 시간의 외부에 있으면 가장 가까운 값이 이용될 것이다.
냉각채널은 GMO 요소에서도 작동한다.
2. Determining Heat Transfer Coefficients for Cooling Channels냉각채널의 열전달 계수 결정
냉각채널의 열전달 계수는 파이프에서의 열전달 계수를 계산하는 것 같을 수 있으며 우선 무차원의 Nusselt 수를 계산하여야 한다. 표 Heat Transfer Equations for Pipe Flow 는 Nusselt 수를 결정하기 위해 사용하는 방정식들의 목록이다. 사용자는 옳은 조건을 선택하는데 유의해야 하며 아니면 결과는 불확실성을 초래할 수 있다.

V 는 유체 평균속도
µ 는 유체점도
µs 는 벽 표면온도에서의 점도
Cp 정압에서의 비열
대류 열전달 계수는 식(11.3) 에있는 관계식으로부터 계산되는데 이는 정체 흐름과 이동흐름 간의 Newton 의 냉각 비율 법으로부터 계산된다.

여기서
h 는 열전달 계수
D 는 파이프의 내경
kf 는 유체의 열전도도
열 도입부에서 “국부적인” 대류 열전달 계수 hx 는 축 위치의 함수이며, 여기서 “평균” 대류 열전달 계수, hL 는 파이프 전체 길이에 대해 열전달을 적분함으로써 얻어질 수 있다.
Example:
물이 Tm1 = 26 C 도인 길이 0.254m이고 내경 D = 0.003175 m 인 파이프로 들어온다. 관내의 물의 평균 속도는 V = 23.9 m/s이다. 그리고 물은 온도 Tm2 = 37.7 C 로 나간다. 열전달 계수는 얼마인가?
