This simulation file teaches you how to set up a moving heat source in Abaqus using native tools — no subroutines, no coding. Whether you’re diving into welding, laser melting, or additive manufacturing, this is the foundational simulation that underpins all thermal models involving a traveling heat input.
You’ll model a basic heat source that moves along a defined path, applying heat flux with full control over timing and location. The setup is fast, editable, and ideal for beginners and professionals who want a clean, no-hassle starting point for heat-driven simulations.
Originally built in Abaqus 2024 and tested in Abaqus 6.14-2, this package is compatible with all newer versions. Includes CAE and INP files for both formats.
This exact setup is featured in the popular video How to Simulate a Moving Heat Source in Abaqus — the most-watched tutorial for entry-level thermal analysis.
