Fast Analytic Simulation for Multi-Laser Heating of Sheet Metal in GPU

Interactive multi-beam laser machining simulation is crucial in the context of tool path planning and optimization of laser machining parameters. Current simulation approaches for heat transfer analysis (1) rely on numerical Finite Element methods (or any of its variants), non-suitable for interacti...
