Hi… I’m trying to do thermomechanical process simulation of Selective laser melting using silent element method in Calculix… it involves multiple layers. I’m encountering various errors with trials. I need some insight from experts in the area. I can share the files and all the relevant information if someone can offer me insight into identifying the problem areas and offer possible solutions. Thank you.

Something like this: [Welding analysis with DFLUX](https://calculix.discourse.group/t/welding-analysis-with-dflux/1435) ?

Files will definitely be needed to provide help.

Hi…Thank you for your response. Is there anyway I can share the workflow and files privately?

I will send you a private message. You should be able to reply to it even though you probably can’t send private messages to other users yet.
