Laser cutting is a thermal, non-contact and highly automated process well suited for various manufacturing industries. The objective of current research is to investigate the thermal and structural characteristics of specimen subjected to laser beam incidence using package of ANSYS simulation package. The heat flux incident is 1000W. The temperature plot, heat flux plot and equivalent stress plot is generated from the FEA analysis. Coupled field analysis is performed on a steel sample using the ANSYS FEA simulation package. The thermal analysis results have shown regions of high temperature and high heat flux. The structural analysis results have shown high equivalent stress near the regions of laser beam incidence. The equivalent stress generated is more than 5100MPa. The HAZ zone is also determined from the analysis.
