Functional Value

New options for contact (e.g. interference fit with Explicit, surface properties)

Support the generation of Substructures, collections of elements from which the internal degrees of freedom have been eliminated, useful in some cases for computational and organizational reasons

Support of the direct-solution steady-state dynamic analysis to allow such analysis when the modal superimposition cannot be used

Data Management of SOLIDWORKS Simulation results files in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform for IP capture and traceability

New Parametric Design Study app providing parametric-based design improvement tools for native design models

User Experience Value

Geometry (point, axis, plane) creation allowed directly from meshing, abstraction or connections dialog boxes

Copy of existing mesh groups when using mesh transformation operators

New option to restrict the number highlighted points on a contour plot with the Show Min/Max Values functionality at user convenience
