Load steps

Verbesserte Eingabe von Lastschrittzahlen in der Äquivalenztabelle zur Anwendung von Lasten aus der thermischen Analyse. Die Bearbeitung von einzelnen/mehreren Zellen und das Kopieren/Einfügen sind jetzt verfügbar.

Verbesserter Editor für Lastschritte zur Bearbeitung mehrerer Zellen.

Meshing

Verbesserte GMSH-Vorlage für den CAD-Import, um die Umkehrung der Normalen von Schalenelementen durch Angabe einer negativen Schalendicke zu ermöglichen.

Connections

Changed logic of automatic contact definition for cylindrical surfaces: Penalty instead of MPC.

Improved contact trim to support curve and point to surface contact.

Improved automatic connection definition for bolts which now takes into account the friction parameter available in assembly model of bolts.

Improved usability when user edits a connection with missing geometry. The program directly selects second geometry if only this one is missing.

Improved validation function of all connections. Now, the Penalty cylindrical contacts are highlighted in the table and tooltips are shown.

Improved logic when updating assemblies. The connections are only generated when the option to delete old automatically defined connections is set.

Chain Versions

Improved chain version by adding new button to only export selected stages.

Improved chain versions by added second column with stages names, which can be user defined.

Improved chain version to automate the animation of all relevant modes.

Improved chain version to automate the identification of most relevant modes.

Results

New feature available in post-processing: Results combination.

Improved logic of "Visualize" function for results: The current analysis type setting decides which Ansys result file (rst or rstp) will be loaded.

Improved report generator "result at item" so that it supports multiple geometries.

Improved Springs ForceComponents which now also supports LBC spring joints.

Improved bolts tool, by added annotations to 3D window when bolts are selected in the table.

Improved "Results at selected element" frame which now supports multiple selected geometry elements.

Improved VDI 2230 module. Now, the assembly torque resulting from the current pretension and friction coefficient is taken into account.

Improved VDI 2230 strength computation by taking the current friction coefficient at bolt head contact.

Improved VDI 2230 strength computation by considering the tightening method, torque or tension.

New feature: Annotations with result value is shown at selected point when this type is active.

New option to automatically save and send animations PowerPoint for multiple results sets.

New result type available: stress equivalent-signed.

General

Improved usability of comboboxes by added context menu for Copy/Paste/Cut.

New option under "Solution Options> Solver options" available to specify a different batch directory for solution and/or results visualization.

Improved usability of the solver solver file cleanup function: Now the function can be applied to one or more directory elements at once.

Measure frame update after explosion reset.

New find function available in text editor.

New function in "Home>Process>Support log" shows history of support cases of current user.

New logic allows to directly define initial conditions for transient analysis.

New logic allows to perform pre-stressed transient analysis.

New options (Copy and Paste) available in the context menu for model tabs.

Added missing "Copy XY" button to bar charts.

Removed the "Save" button in assembly equations, which is now done automatically after 3 seconds.

Changed the behavior of "Save and Update" button in assembly equations which now only does "Refresh" in addition to saving.
