Figure 1: Process Flowchart for Building and Validating the G-code-to-Abaqus Conversion Tool.

Printing parameter optimization The program interface is shown in Fig. 2 with a user-friendly and simple interface in the form of the “Abaqus Script Generator from G-code” application. It provides a section to select files and for browsing for and uploading G-code files (".g" file extension) to easily insert the G-code instructions for a printer into a simulation environment. The program interface contains an input field for the “Infill Angle" allowing users to select a starting angle of 0°, 45°, or 90°; therefore establishing the starting point for the corrected virtual section, changes to the internal structure of the specimen for the simulation, and correct mapping of G-code data to the event series framework in Abaqus model for proper simulations. Pressing the "Generate Abaqus Script" button begins the conversion process from G-code data to produce a script specifically designed for Abaqus to model the layer-by-layer deposition sequence.
