Abstract

Highly concentrated moving nonlinearities are extremely difficult to solve numerically. The Selective Laser Melting Additive Manufacturing process is a problem of this kind. A material global-local scheme is proposed, which consists in describing the neighbourhood of the heat source by a moving local domain while the material phase fractions are represented in a global domain. The equations of the non-linear thermal problem are defined on the local domain only, assuming that the local domain is large enough to capture the most important variations of the temperature field. Additionally, a Hyper-Reduced-Order Model (HROM) is proposed for the local domain problem. The performance is studied by solving a SLM problem taken from the literature.
