AM PravaH® is a graphical user interface (GUI)-based high-performance simulation software, specifically designed for additive manufacturing. It is developed by Paanduv R&D and is a combination of parallelized computational modeling with state-of-the-art numerical methods provided by international research leaders and in-house.
Computational modeling capabilities of AM PravaH® – The current version of AM PravaH® has the capability of modeling additive manufacturing processes across scales, including macroscale and microscale. As a high-performance CFD software, it enables precise simulation of particle dynamics for AM processes that use metal powders. At the macroscale, it captures laser dynamics, melt pool behavior, phase change, solidification, Marangoni effects, heat and mass transfer, and surface tension effects. At the microscale, it models grain structure, grain size, and grain morphology. In addition, a robust deep learning module is integrated for predicting AM process parameters and building quality using experimental or simulation data.

LPBF is a complex process, and there are too many parameters. How to optimize the parameters without doing too many experiments and spending an enormous time?
Simulation software that emphasizes process modeling can be useful in this case. AM PravaH® is the best example in this context. It helps you understand the in-depth physics. Due to the small timescales and highly transient nature of the melt flow, it is very challenging to reveal the dynamic behavior within the melt pool.
I am getting a lot of defects in my build layers. How can I remove the defects and build a defect-free part?
You can perform a small single-track run by varying your process parameters using AM PravaH® at a comparatively lower accuracy. By varying the parameters, you will have a good idea of the ranges you want to operate in to get defect-free parts. Do a final run with high accuracy in AM PravaH® to ensure that there are no defects.
Can it give results quickly?
You can do a small single-track run by varying your process parameters using AM PravaH® at comparatively lower accuracy. By varying the parameters, you will have a good idea of the ranges you want to operate in to get defect-free parts. Do a final run with high accuracy in AM PravaH® to ensure that there are no defects.
Can we run it on the cloud?
No, the software can not be operated on the cloud. We ensure complete data security.
How do you ensure data security?
AM PravaH® Software runs in a standalone manner with no data exchange after installation.
