[SIMULIA] Durability and Mechanics Engineer

Functional Value

Modeling - New connection options (e.g. rigid elastic in connector behavior, distributing vs. kinematic couplings in connector and virtual bolt) to improve the connection modeling flexibility


Scenario - Improved modeling capabilities for including manufacturing effects, pre-loaded sub-assemblies, and previous simulations in downstream applications (e.g. multi drop test) to accurately capture history dependent simulation use cases


Scenario – Support of hydrostatic pressure, regular load condition for pressure vessel simulations


Post-Processing - Virtual Strain Gauge creation tool to define and output simulation results consistent with standard physical test measurement methods, and help determine best strain gauge locations for test

User Experience Value

Modeling - More options (e.g. search domain) provided for the fastener creation automation using data coming from the CATIA Fastening app


Durability - XY Plotting of Fatigue Loading Signals


Post-Processing - New variable contour transparency for contour rendering enhancing rendering settings for results data review or communication
