hmtoggle_arrow1Equivalence Two Grid Sets (2017)

All degrees of freedom of grid points of two different grid sets of a model can now be equivalenced. The pairs of equivalenced grid points are not required to be adjacent to each other. The GMATCH Bulk Data Entry can be used to achieve such equivalence.

 
hmtoggle_arrow1 Thickness Output Support for PCOMPP (2017)

Thickness output via the THICKNESS I/O Options entry is now supported for composite elements referencing PCOMPP Bulk Data entries.

 
hmtoggle_arrow164-bit OptiStruct (2017)

The 64-bit OptiStruct run can be activated using the –i64 run option. This feature avoids the 32-bit integer overflow in any OptiStruct module (Beta).

 
hmtoggle_arrow1Duplicate Element IDs Allowed (14.0.230)

Duplicate element IDs between scalar elements (CELAS/CMASS/CDAMP) and other type of elements are now allowed. SYSSETTING,ELEMENTID is added for this purpose.

 
hmtoggle_arrow1Missing Mid-side Nodes Allowed for 2nd Order Solid Elements (14.0.230)

SYSSETTING,ADDMIDSIDE is added for this purpose.

 
hmtoggle_arrow1Bar/Beam Stress Output is Available for Transient Analysis (14.0.230)

Bar/Beam stress output is available for Transient Analysis.

 
hmtoggle_arrow1Temperature Field Input with Temperature Gradient – TEMPP1 (14.0.230)

Temperature field input for plate elements that allows specification of a temperature gradient through the shell thickness.

 
hmtoggle_arrow1H3D Element Erosion (14.0.230)

Supported for Sub-modeling (SUBMODEL) and Model Change (MODCHG).

 
hmtoggle_arrow1OP4 Reader (14.0.230)

ASSIGN,OP4DMIG is now available to read reduced matrices in the .op4 file.

 
hmtoggle_arrow1Neuber Stress and Strain Output on Surface of Solid elements (14.0.230)

The NEUBER option can now be used in conjunction with the SURF option on the STRESS and STRAIN entries.

 
hmtoggle_arrow1Improved Stress Calculation for 2nd Order Shell Elements (14.0.220)

PARAM,CURVSHL2,YES will activate this calculation.

 
hmtoggle_arrow1New Threshold Option (PTHRESH) has been Added (14.0.220)

This new option takes PTHRESH*maximum response value as threshold. This is available for ESE, STRESS and THERMAL output request.

 
hmtoggle_arrow1Threshold Options for Normal Mode Analysis and Modal Frequency Response/Modal Transient Analysis (14.0.220)

Threshold option (TOP, RTOP, RTHRESH, and PTHRESH) has been added to Normal mode analysis and Modal Frequency Response/Modal Transient Analysis with MODAL output option.

 
hmtoggle_arrow1Corner Strain is now Available for Modal Frequency Response/Modal Transient Analysis (14.0.220)

Corner Strain is now available for Modal Frequency Response/Modal Transient Analysis with MODAL output option.

 
hmtoggle_arrow1Restart Functionality Added for Zooming (Global-Local) (14.0.220)

The results from global subcase can be saved and retrieved for local subcase job.

 
hmtoggle_arrow1Fatigue Analysis can be Included in Zooming (Global-Local) Setup (14.0.220)

Fatigue Analysis can be included in Zooming (global-local) setup.

 
hmtoggle_arrow1Globalization of any ID Group, GRIDs will be Available for Parts and Instance Feature (14.0.220)

With new I/O options entry IDGLOBAL is added. This card allows to disable treating specific group of cards as part-localized. For example, IDGLOBAL,GRID will treat all GRIDS as existing in a global part, and they can be referenced on other cards only by numeric ID, instead of qualified ID.

 
hmtoggle_arrow1Centrifugal Force (RFORCE) can be Applied on Specific Element Sets  (14.0.210)

The IDRF field on the RFORCE bulk data entry can be used to apply centrifugal force to a set of elements in a model. This allows the definition of different rotational forces to different parts of the model.
