Last time I was asked about simulation software to analyze the effect of shrinkages of plastic powder materials. Currently, an additive manufacturing process is what I find suitable for my research. Suggest me kindly, the type of software’s with its module that capable of analyzing shrinkage of metal powders in the Additive manufacturing process?
Dear Eyob, Ansys Workbench has AM module or package, that might be used to model and simulate the whole process in AM manufacturing.

Dear Dr. Nuri Ersoy thank you very much for your valuable directions.
Dear Mr. Solomon Tekeste, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, the file is wonderful and useful for my research.
Thanks again for your cooperation!
Dear all,
Before I’m going to the Additive manufacturing workbench which module can I use for simulating the shrinkage of metal powders? Or can I use the additive manufacturing workbench after modeling the 3D cad design?

Try www.deskmetals@com This company has developed a software for determining shrinkage in PM product made by AM.

Dear Dr. Navin Kothari thanks a lot for your kindful contribution to this discussion. Many thanks for the valuable directions. I will contact the company.
With sincere gratitude.
Dear Eyob,
I simulated the shrinkage of the powder for simulating Additivr manufacturing process using Abaqus and defining a pseudo thermal expansion coefficient. You can read more about the method in my paper
Powder bed properties modelling and 3D thermo-mechanical simulation of the additive manufacturing Electron Beam Melting process
