Meshing

Neue Vernetzungsoption für extrudierbare Hexaeder-Netze verfügbar: LinExt (Modellparameter 22). Wenn dieser Paramter nicht Null ist, dann wird versucht eine Quell- und eine Zielfläche zu finden, die topologisch gleich sind. Wenn gefunden, wird zwischen diesen zwei Flächen ein Hexaeder Netz durch lineare Extrusion erstellt. Der Parameter LinExt ist auch im CAD-Import-Fenster verfügbar.

Results

Improved FKM tool to differentiate between different FKM and part materials, naming the report file accordingly.

New combobox in FKM tool available to quickly select parts of a specific material.

New result type "Reaction Forces" available (currently only for Ansys and Permas solver).

New solution type "PSD" available for Ansys solver.

Sonstige GUI-Verbesserungen

New button "Erase annotations" available in "Results at selected element" frame.

New button "Export" available for Contact Forces, Spring Forces and Reaction Forces that exports all results sets data to an Excel file.

New option "Ignore subassemblies" available in validation of misplaced connections. This option allows the assemblies to be validated more quickly if the validation is carried out step-by-step from bottom to top.

Improved usability: Part offsets can be edited for multiple selected parts.

New key shortcuts available for model tree: Shift-C collapse all cildren, Shift-S collaps all siblings of selected tree elements.

New options available in the general settings tab: Selection colors.
New setting "Model colors by part name" available. By turning this option off, the model colors are computed from the full file name including the variant name.

Deactivated license requirement for solving models from explorer tree.

Changed location of materials.fkm file from %PUBLIC%/MESHPARTS to /Users.

Changed location of users material library from C:/Users/Public/Meshparts to /Users. Also the library is now common to all users.
