Functional Value

Modeling - Axisymmetric coverage convergence including 2D FEM creation w/o geometry cut, cut automation for surfaces and automatic axis/plane detection for revolved geometries

Modeling - Support of new connection behaviors commonly found in industrial models (i.e. plasticity, failure, damage, lock, damping) to increase the simulation fidelity

User Experience Value

Modeling - New feedback in the Visualization Management dialog box for the user to make sure what she or he is currently viewing

Modeling and 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 to ensure the model is behaving as expected and get intermediate results before the end of the simulation
