Functional Value

Modeling and Meshing - Support lap joint for the Support boundary method of line fastener reducing dramatically the time effort and effort to create the mesh in such case

Modeling and Meshing - Ability to run simulations on polyhedral geometries (orphan meshes) increasing the range of possible simulation workflows

Meshing - New persistent locking options for elements and domains facilitating any remeshing action

Scenario - New default for Edge-To-Edge contact for Explicit dynamic analysis, increasing simulation robustness and quality

User Experience Value

Improved model-build user experience with a unified app for meshing and structural model creation, improving efficiency

Scenario - Openness increase through new CAA APIs to improve scripting capabilities

Modeling and Meshing - Generative modeling tool for sub-modeling simulation to speed-up studies of local parts of models
