Functional Value

Material - Calibration of material models using a structural simulation increasing the range of possible calibratable material models

Modeling - Support of new connection common behaviors (i.e. plasticity, damage, lock, stop) to increase the simulation fidelity

Scenario - Filters (e.g. Butterworth, Chebyshev, etc.) can now be applied to output requests to attenuate high-frequency solution noise and minimize results aliasing

User Experience Value

Modeling - New feedback in the Visualization Management dialog box for the user to make sure what 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

Post-Processing - Allow results visualization during simulation execution to ensure the model is behaving as expected and get intermediate results before the end of the simulation
