Durability - Explicit Dynamic results supported to increase the durability analysis scope
New check and fix tools for compatible line fasteners connections to improve dramatically the meshing success rate
Scenario - New Riks step generally used to predict unstable, geometrically nonlinear buckling or collapse of a structure
Scenario – Full support of coupled piezoelectric analysis
Scenario - Enlargement of scope around capabilities for including manufacturing effects, pre-loaded sub-assemblies, using previous simulations in downstream application
User Experience Value
New scroll bars and User Interface modification improve the user experience when defining material simulation model
Scenario - On-The-Fly axis system creation is now possible when dealing with scenario related features, improving dramatically the user experience
Ability to create a new template from a plot definition and sensors has been added to the Post Processing phase for a straightforward subsequent reuse
Modeling & Meshing - new check and fix tools for compatible line fasteners connections to improve dramatically the meshing success rate Scenario - New Riks step generally used to predict unstable, geometrically nonlinear buckling or collapse of a structure Scenario – Full support of coupled piezoelectric analysis
Scenario - Enlargement of scope around capabilities for including manufacturing effects, pre-loaded sub-assemblies, using previous simulations in downstream applications (e.g. springback analysis) Post Processing - New Save As New Template option for contour plots and sensors for a straightforward subsequent reuse
New Connector behaviors to reach completeness in Virtual Bolt and Point Fastener
The Automated FEM command has been enhanced to support multibody for tria & quad surface procedure so users can easily select which body (the main body, all geometries or visible geometries ) to be meshed with 2D elements Durability - Explicit Dynamic results supported to increase the durability analysis scope
