Iam developing a numerical model to simulate Laser assisted Machining (LAM) in Abaqus. For this Iam using your paper titled, "Experimental and numerical study of laser-assisted machining of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy" as reference paper. Iam trying to reproduce the results in your paper. I developed the basic model and could validate cutting force value in your paper for the conventional machining. When using a laser power of 500W, there is no error in the simulation with VDFLUX subroutine. But Iam not able to see the laser spot in the simulation. Can you please help me in finding the error in the code or the cae file?
Iam attaching herewith the .cae, .jnl, .inp, and VDFLUX.for files. Please go through the files and help me in finding the mistake.
