Enhanced role | Composite Structures Analysis Engineer

Discover the details of SIMULIA roles that have been enhanced with the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform On the Cloud for R2021x FD04.

R2021x FD04 Enhanced roles 

Functional Value

Modeling - Seamless creation of abstraction shapes used for design modification for simulation purposes and access to the simulation geometry preparation tools to reduce the pre-processing duration


Modeling - Further Nastran import coverage in beams, couplings, materials, for expanded aerospace modeling capabilities


Modeling and scenario - New modeling capabilities for axisymmetric structures, drastically reducing turnaround times for simulations

User Experience Value

Modeling - Generative model build capabilities (e.g. axisymmetric) to fully automate the simulation model creation following best practices to drastically reduce the pre-processing duration


Modeling - Display of the parameters of all connections in the Connection Manager for efficiently reviewing them, especially in case of large assemblies


Pre- and Post-Processing - Model Plots Enhancement to allow layout of plots with dedicated display options, name based filtering mechanism for queries (e.g. mass)

Modeling – Modeling extensions to Multi-body geometries, including automation in FEM initialization and contributing 3D shapes, and connection detection tools between bodies


Modeling – Display of the parameters of all connections in the Connection Manager for efficiently reviewing and comparing them, especially useful in large assemblies



Scenario - Sequential thermal stress simulation capability from a heat transfer transient increment with prescribed temperatures load input



Modeling, Results – Model Plots capabilities extended for: viewing multiple plots; symmetric display; and query filtering by name for parts, ply data, and results (shown)
