[SIMULIA] Composite Structures Analysis Engineer

Functional Value

Material - Calibration of material models using a structural simulation models increasing the range of possible calibratable material models

Modeling - Support of new common connection behaviors (i.e. plasticity, damage, lock, stop, damping) to increase the simulation fidelity

Modeling - Extended edit enhancements for Nastran full model 'as result' import

Scenario - Restart analysis capability for Explicit Dynamics as well as Implicit steps

Scenario - Support of the Verity fatigue method for shell element line welds durability assessment

User Experience Value

Modeling - New feedback in the Visualization Management dialog box to see what is viewed

Meshing - Automated FEM enhancements (e.g. Support of multibody and visible body in midsurface and tetrahedron procedures) to improve the meshing automated processes

Post-Processing - Allow results visualization during simulation execution

I
Durability simulation support of the Verity fatigue method on line welds modeled with shell elements

I
Added material calibration capabilities which expand the range of material models which can be calibrated

I
Support of additional connection behaviors (i.e. plasticity, failure, damage, lock, damping), to improve simulation capability, accuracy

I
Allow results visualization during simulation execution to ensure the model is behaving as expected and get intermediate results before the end of the simulation
