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 (ie: plasticity, failure, damage, lock, damping) to increase the simulation fidelity
Modeling - Enhanced featuring for FE solver model imports (Nastran & Abaqus), to allow users to modify meshes, local connections, and properties more efficiently and effectively on industry-level model assemblies
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
