I want to simulate metal deposition of the Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing process (in particular, using Gas Metal Arc Welding) using CFD-FVM (Computational Fluid Dynamics- Finite Volume Method). I am aware of the newly released Additive Manufacturing suite for Ansys which I cannot use for financial constraints. So, I am looking for an open source CFD solver that is easy to use for modelling wire-based metal Additive Manufacturing processes. Is there someone who has used openFOAM to simulate Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing process? Please feel free to add any suggestion/information that you think may be useful. Thank you :)
