Functional Value
Scenario - Support generation of Substructures, reduction of meshed subassemblies to mass, stiffness, damping matrices, for computational, confidential, or multi-physics needs
Scenario - Support direct-solution steady-state dynamic analysis for baseline greater accuracy to mode-based solution, particularly in presence of high frequency-dependent damping, or unsymmetric stiffness
Optimization - New Parametric Design Study app providing parametric-based design exploration tools
User Experience Value
Modeling - Geometry (point, axis, plane) creation allowed directly from meshing, abstraction or connections dialog boxes for a more efficient pre-processing
Meshing - Copy of existing mesh groups when using mesh transformation operators (e.g. translation, symmetry) to improve the pre-processing experience
Modeling - New options for contact (e.g. interference fit with Explicit, surface properties and controls parameters) to increase the simulation fidelity
Post-Processing - New option to restrict the number highlighted points on a contour plot with the Show Min/Max Values functionality at user convenience
