Functional Value

Support of the direct-solution steady-state dynamic analysis to allow such analysis when the modal superimposition cannot be used (i.e. dashpot elements, unsymmetric stiffness matrix)

Improvements to capabilities for contact interactions for more efficient assembly simulation with part interaction

User Experience Value

Material Palette dialog box improvements with new filters for a better search experience

Geometry (point, axis, plane) creation allowed directly from meshing, abstraction or connections dialog boxes for a more efficient pre-processing

Copy of existing mesh groups when using mesh transformation operators to improve the pre-processing experience

New Speed Control in Player Section to allow an easier and consistent access for animation speed modification

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