Functional Value

Small sliding in General Contact for faster contact set up in linear cases

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
