Functional Value
Scenario – Support of hydrostatic pressure, regular load condition for pressure vessel simulations
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
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
Post-Processing - New variable contour transparency for contour rendering enhancing rendering settings for results data review or communication
