Highlights

For v14.0, user experience was improved, so that you can approach additional analysis types, and expand on the ones already introduced. Specifically, new non-linear capabilities, new fatigue references, and load types were added. Additionally, there are several browser updates, which enhance the user experience by focusing on efficiency within the browser to cut down modeling and editing time.

 

hmtoggle_arrow1Non-Linear Quasi-Static Large Displacement Subcase, LGDISP

Previous support on small displacement non-linear quasi static support has been expanded upon to include large displacement analysis.  This includes incremental subcase control and the use of continual subcase so that you can reference and use previous solutions.

hmtoggle_arrow1Fatigue Subcase – Subcase Reference and Time History Support

Non-Linear subcase references are now available under the fatigue subcase.  Additionally, you can now specify time history (TABFAT) and up to 10 linear and non-linear subcase references in the browser.  There is also the ability to import your own time history information in supported formats.

basic_14_02
hmtoggle_arrow1Mass Summary for Parts

Unit specific mass values are now displayed for each part and cumulatively for the entire model.

basic_14_03
hmtoggle_arrow1New Mass Option for Rigid Body and Load Distribution Body

You can now enable a mass (CONM2) and center of gravity (COG) for the independent node of Rigid Body and dependent node of Load Distribution Body.

basic_14_04
hmtoggle_arrow1New Boundary Conditions
•Force >> On Point
•Enforced Displacement

 
hmtoggle_arrow1New Boundary Condition Editing Mechanism

You can now edit rigid body, load distribution body, constraints, enforced displacement via a user input field for DOF 1-6.

basic_14_05
hmtoggle_arrow1Drag and Drop Boundary Conditions in Browser

Boundary Conditions can now be dragged and dropped between different loadcases, if valid, and between loadsteps and common loads.

basic_14_06
hmtoggle_arrow1Resolved Issues
•Thickness values with units are now a supported input.
•Fixed issue with Mesh settings for single parts.  Independent settings are now kept for parts and global setting.
•Fixed contact direction issue with Sliding Pins to make more consistent.
