AM Plot Type: Heat Source Calibration Parameters
The Heat Source Calibration Parameters plot type is available with a Steady-state simulation and when Heat Source Calibration is selected as the Calculation Type.
During the set up, the Heat Source Calibration Parameters type also has its own tab called Heat Source Calibration on the Plot Renderer Configuration window. For more information see Visualizing Heat Source Calibrations.
Example
The following is from AM_06a: Calibrating a Heat Source for a 316L Steel.
Also see the companion example, AM_06b: Using the Calibrated Heat Source for a 316L Steel.
A Heat Source Calibration Parameters plot shows the calibrated heat source parameters as a function of energy density (P/v) (unit J/mm). From the Plot Renderer Configuration window, you can also continue to select which experiments to be used to fit the calibration.

For instance, you can deselect the points that seem to be outliers or where the error bar in experimental data is large.
