Dear fellow researchers,
I am trying to simulate the temperature variation during a laser sintering of some metal powder. Material properties (density and conductivity) depend on temperature. I am using nonlinear FEM and writing my code.
I am using Newton-Raphson method. Now I want to know how to calculate the tangent matrix/jacobian matrix for nonlinear transient problem? could you please share some reference which has the complete derivation and some test cases to check my code? It would really be helpful.
best regards,
