LASER Heating

Using SimScale Thermal
1

Hi,

I work with LASER indued heating on a metal. I am new to simscale and wants to know how to define heat load on the metal surface if the LASER beam is 1 cm circular beam exposed on a metal surface. The LASER is ND-YAG laser with pulse width 200nm and power is 5W. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
