4. Configuring an FEM Simulation of Sintering
This section provides a practical description of the main steps in finite element simulation: definition of boundary conditions, discretization of the geometry via a mesh, and handling of stability issues (initial calculations or post-processing), all illustrated by an example applied to conventional furnace sintering.
4.1 Boundary Conditions
A simulation generally begins with the design of the object whose sintering behavior is to be virtually tested. In general, computational software requires formats such as “STEP” (Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data) rather than mesh formats like “STL” (Standard Tessellation Language), which generate a large number of facets. The main boundary conditions concern the interactions between the object and its support....
