In Simufact, I can see only options for Gaussian distribution, is there any way I can define top hat distribution in Simufact?

    As for laser bean with a tophat distribution it is recommended to set Gaussian parameter (M) as 0 with heat source type "Laser", as shown below.
    Laser-Gaussian-0

    I already tried this, but in my case, it does not work. I have constant heat distribution in the laser spot . Do you have any other options to change it?

    Hi Paychiyappan,
     
    it could be probably caused by the Gaussian parameter for surface heat source. Have you tried to set both Gaussian parameter as 0?
     
    Otherwise you can also send the model to our support, so that I can take a look for more details.
