You need to print few simple shape specimens with different orientation using you 3d printer and test it to determine material properties. I did it for Stratasys FDM few years ago.

Yeah, I can know the tensile strenght in parallel and perpendicular to the filament direction, also the flex modulus and flexion strenght by the seller datasheet. I just need to know how to set these parameters in ANSYS.

Thanks anyway for replying.

WOW! Thanks a lot, Mr. Rutkovskij. I don't know how I could miss that webinar, I really appreciate it. Thank you very much again.

Greetings!

@Valerij, ANSYS Additive print does not support Fdm Process. It supports only two AM categories.

I just wanted to run a FEM simulation and I am having issues at the engineering data step.

I am also having the same situation. I wanted to make PLA samples for compression testing but I don't know what properties I should add in simulation software to simulate the process.

I try to use the seller datasheet from materials (I am using BQ PLA filament),, but I think the data they supply is not enough.

ANSYS Workbench only requires Young's Modulus and Poisson's ratio for a linear model. For a linear model, you'll need a experimental stress-strain curve to implement (for example) a BISO or MISO plasticity model. A tensile test should provide at least a rudimentary dataset.

I am finally modelling it as an Orthotropic Eslastic material, using the results of the strain-stress test from the PLA manufacturer and a Poisson of 0.4 for every direction.

Hello dear, can anyone share the required parameters for simulation of PLA, I need chaboche coefficient?
