Laser Machining and Temperature Field Simulation Using COSMOS / M SOFTWARE

Abstract

The paper deals with possibilities of using the laser in technologies. The parametric temperature field analysis was realized by the finite element method. The analysis was run in COSMOS/M software solver. A thermal module HSTAR makes it possible to realize cases of the temperature dependences on the material properties. Material data can be entered as a function of a temperature. The thermal and physical characteristics of the polymeric materials change significantly. The output of the analysis was described by colourful spectrograms with temperature field distribution of various materials.
