US2022291661 (A1) 15-Sep-22 Additive Manufacturing Simulations Inventor: OTT ERIC ALLEN; STROESSNER JOHANNES; ACOSTA MANUEL; APPEL PETER; SUN HONGQING Applicant: GEN ELECTRIC Methods of simulating additively manufacturing an object may include generating a simulated additively manufactured object based at least in part on a plurality of approximate consolidation domains that respectively correspond to a plurality of consolidation tracks determined from one or more digital representations of an additively manufactured object, and determining a predictive inference with respect to one or more material properties of the object to be additively manufactured based at least in part on the simulated additively manufactured object. Methods may include generating, for an object to be additively manufactured, a CAD file and/or a build file based at least in part on a simulated additively manufactured object and/or based at least in part on one or more predictive inferences with respect to one or more material properties of the object to be additively manufactured. An object may be additively manufactured based at least in part on a simulated additively manufactured object and/or a CAD file and/or the build file corresponding thereto.
