You must include a parameter table of type "ABQ_AM_MovingHeatSource_VariableBeadSize" in the table collection that you specify for a moving heat flux in the step if the deposition process type is "BEAD" and a variable bead size is required.

Parameter Table Type Definition

PARAMETER TABLE TYPE, NAME="ABQ_AM_MovingHeatSource_VariableBeadSize", PARAMETERS=2
 INTEGER, 5, "Event Series Field ID for the Bead Height", "Zero Indicates Constant Bead Height"
 INTEGER, 6, "Event Series Field ID for the Bead Width", "Zero Indicates Constant Bead Width"

Parameters

Event Series Field ID for the Bead Height
Set to 5 by default, indicating that the fifth field in the event series defines the bead height.
Event Series Field ID for the Bead Width
Set to 6 by default, indicating that the sixth field in the event series defines the bead width.
