Abstract
A computer-readable medium includes recorded instructions for performing a method of improving evacuation gas flow performance of an additive manufacturing build chamber. Instruction execution by a processor of a host computer device causes the processor to receive an input data set inclusive of flow field data of an inert gas through the build chamber, and an improvement metric operable to characterize flow improvements therein. The processor generates a flow field data set in response to the input data set, and extracts evacuation streamline data from the flow field data set. The streamline data describes expected flow paths of the inert gas through the modified build chamber. Instruction execution also causes the processor to generate an output data set using the streamline data, with the output data set including the flow improvements as characterized by the metric.
