Functional Value

Enhanced coupling connection capturing specified number of node rings around holes

New factor of safety output for virtual bolts allowing a quick check if the bolt has failed or not

Stress Linearization capability to extract membrane and bending stresses as requested by various industrial standards

Support of vibration-based fatigue simulation in both time (transient modal) and frequency (random vibration) domains

Durability cases are now supported in Parametric Design Study workflows

Support for the definition, solve, and post-processing of coupled stress-thermal-electrochemical simulations for battery workflows

User Experience Value

Improved abstraction shape creation process to allow multiple items creation

Improvements to sequentially coupled multiphysics workflows (e.g. fluid to structure, plastic injection to structure) to integrate simulations from different scientific fields where simulation results from one solver are used to drive a simulation in another solver.
