Abstract

In one embodiment, a system derives non-equilibrium thermophysical values for phase property changes of a material from equilibrium thermophysical values of the material for a manufacturing process which involves heating and/or cooling of the material (such as an additive manufacturing, 3D printing, welding, or joining process). The system performs a simulation of the manufacturing process based upon the derived non-equilibrium and/or equilibrium thermophysical values. The system generates a set of results based on the simulation, the set of results indicating predicted physical properties of the material for the manufacturing process.
