Reduced loading is now supported for Superelement generation with CMSMETH bulk data entry with Craig Bampton Nodal (CBN) or Guyan Reduction (GUYAN) methods. Loads can be reduced out during the superelement (DMIG) generation run (punch and h3d file) and they can then be referenced in the residual run. Reduced loading is not supported for the GM method.  

Frequency-dependent bushing (PBUSHT Bulk Data entry) and springs (PELAST Bulk Data entry) are now supported in conjunction with FASTFR solution method for Modal Frequency Response Analysis.        

Complex Eigenvalue Analysis is now supported for coupled Fluid-Structure Analysis.

The label of the Resvec mode is modified to clearly delineate the difference between the regular mode and the Resvec mode. The new label “Rmod” is used to identify the Resvec mode.

Brake Squeal Analysis is supported by two step process. One starts with nonlinear static solution to obtain the static equilibrium of brake assembly. Then, the complex eigenvalue analysis to follow. It must be ensured during the nonlinear static solution that the contact between the disc and the pads is in the dynamic friction status when converged.

RANDOM case control is enhanced to point to SET which in turn lists the ID of RANDPS bulk IDs.        

RBADD can now reference another RBADD. Also, no case control RBODY is required anymore and in that case, all the RBADD/RBODY in bulk data will be used for analysis.

Mass/Volume for Fluid in Acoustic Analysis is available in .out file.

Available in .op2 file for Frequency Response Analysis.

Non Structural Material Damping via NSGE is now supported for fluid elements.

PARAM,ODS,YES for Strain Energy output (ESE) has performance improvement and disk space reduction even when PEAKOUT is used.

Particle Velocity in Fluid domain is available and can be requested by using the FORCE I/O Options entry. This is elemental results are supported in H3D, OP2, and PUNCH formats.  

When PARAM,ODS,YES is specified, the Operating Deformed Shape model with DISPLACEMENT output request should run faster and with reduced disk space. PARAM,ODS,YES is not supported for ESE output request in conjunction with PEAKOUT.

Enforced Displacement (SPCD entry) is now supported for the Fast Frequency Response Solver (FastFRS) model.

Non Structural Material Damping (NSGE) is now available for Solid Elements. The TYPE field on NSGE and NSGE1 Bulk Data Entries can now reference PSOLID entries.

When VON option on the STRESS and STRAIN Output requests is specified, in conjunction with the PSDF or RMS options, then only PSD/RMS Von mises results with Segalman method will be output. The regular Stress/Strain components are not output in such cases.
