Highlights
The *Surface element creation/edit/review is enhanced this release.
| • | Change in face selection angle will retain the previous selection |
| • | Added a new option to Adjust the contact normal |
| • | Added an option “review direction flip”, allows you to see if the normal of the surface is on the same direction |
|
| • | Show Hide Isolate and Isolate only and Review is enhanced to all group entity. |
|
| • | Instead of simple square as graphic for *Surface Element, the graphic is changed to be similar to contact surface. This way the normal of element based surface can be clearly visualized. |
|
Nastran to Abaqus Solver Conversion:
| • | The SPC Load collectors referred in SPCADD will have INITIAL_CONDITION as card image on conversion. |
