2. RIGHT NOW ! ! !Keith PedersenPrincipal Applications Engineer 3. Ease of Use Advancing computer science Larger models Better intermix of mesh types Better input controls and diagnostics More advanced study types Interoperability between types ofstudies, and their supported types offeatures CAPINC 4. 1) Watch your Non-Linear resultswhile they cook! In: Simulation Premium Need: To turn this option ON via:Simulation Options Default Options - Results2) Run any number of selected studiesin batch mode Prior batch mode would onlyrun ALL studies CAPINC 5. 3) Cyclic Symmetry now for Non-Linear In: Simulation Premium Was already in: Sim Core & Sim Professional Results plots can depict the full-round model CAPINC 6. 4) Load Case Manager Why? Remember Pressure Vessel Design study ? Was new in 2008 Good for meeting ASME BPVC Section IV, CPS-9, blah blah blah Turns out, that study type is really cool Linear Superposition of results for 2 or more other studies,times their load factors. This runs really, really (really) fast. Makes childs play out of a large number of directional-variationstudies But, (was) only availablein Sim Professionalor Sim Premium CAPINC 7. 4) Load Case Manager How now? Create a linear study with ALL your loads Table-driven control over load and fixtures Turn them on /off Change magnitudes Compound load cases by assembling an equation Compound cases are solved normally Add sensors for comparing tabulated results Activate any case for full post-processing CAPINC 8. Better display of what worked, whatdidnt, in the Mesh Diagnostic panel CAPINC 9. Better display in Mesh Diagnostic panel Recent materials list is now a user-controlledFavorite menu - no need tonavigate the Materials D.B. dialog CAPINC 10. Better display in Mesh Diagnostic panel User-defined material Favorites Cylindrical and Polar coordinates for:Non-uniform Forces & Pressures CAPINC 11. Better display in Mesh Diagnostic panel User-defined material Favorites Cylindrical and Polar coordinate equations Prescribed Displacements now appearwithin the LOADS folder CAPINC 12. Better display in Mesh Diagnostic panel User-defined material Favorites Cylindrical and Polar coordinate equations Prescribed Displacements within LOADS More plot color-band options for the color-blind(red/green CAPINC 13. Self-Contact 2004 only contact between Parts (in Assemblies) Then, could contact between Part Bodies Then, contact within 1 body (but split faces) Now, self-contact allowed on a single face CAPINC 14. Shell Bonding Can now bond shells edge-to-edge.., and they don t have to touch. Uses incompatible mesh mortar-style bond Now the location of the shell (outer face, innerface, mid-thickness, etc.) is less critical CAPINC 15. The Contact visualization plot See which ones worked, which didnt Distinguish auto-bonding from manual See the true element bonding areas CAPINC 16. Review and Edit many shells at once! Column-sort by any parameter Color Code by Thickness, Material Multi-select & Edit all shell parameters Preview thickness directions Create your own groups for gang editing! CAPINC 17. New: INTEL Direct Sparse solver For: Static, Thermal, Frequency, NonLinear, &Linear Dynamics For larger problems Has better memory allocation and multi-coreusage, as long as job stays in-core. CAPINC 18. New: INTEL Direct Sparse Faster Bonding & Contact pre-processing FFE Plus: faster when there are Connectors,Bonding, or no-penetration sets FFE and Sparse 5x to 9x faster, when thereare multi sheet metal bodies Faster-Running FFE-Plus When using connectors or Contact sets CAPINC 19. Simulation Professional: 3 new plot types Frequency vs mode number Mass participation vs frequency Cumulative mass participation vs Frequency CAPINC 20. Existing Fatigue: for Simulation Professional & Premium Combines cyclic (or random) quasi-static events CAPINC 21. Existing Fatigue: (first 2 icons, below) for Simulation Professional & Premium Combines cyclic (or random) quasi-static events New Fatigue: For Simulation Premium only Uses events from Linear Dynamics Cyclic, or Random (PSD) loading Different S-N material profile (Basquins Rule) Plots: Life remaining, time-to-failure, andPercent damage CAPINC 22. Different solver, same color-scheme:Keith PedersenPrincipal Applications Engineer 23. Multi-Cavity mold symmetry 2-way, 4-way, or rotational symmetry So much time savings, better accuracy, Vs. model/mesh/solve the entire system CAPINC 24. Survey part wall thickness plot absolute thickness, or % relative to nominalNow computes venting pressure ! PLOT finds the best placement of gates, or vents, toprevent diesel burns; then, INPUT the VENT(a new boundary condition) CAPINC 25. New Mesh Type ! Non-Orthogonal Voxels Voxels = Fast! But, chunky. Poor surface resolution. Also more accurate for interior, thick-section flow (For best resolution of surface flow along thin parts stilluse the Surface mesher) CAPINC 26. Other mesh improvements Better control over volume-meshed runners New inputs: Ring Count, Cut Count, & Length Ratio Set min # elements (thru-thickness) For the Tetrahedral mesherExport 3-D Plastics plots to E-Drawings CAPINC 27. Navier and Stokes would be so proudKeith PedersenPrincipal Applications Engineer 28. Pack-n-Go: Now collects the Flow results, too.New Goals available as Global (in External studies) Mass, Energy, and Momentum balances Were already available in Internal studiesFlow solver does not lock the CAD session Work on other CAD files, while a solve running Can prep other Flow studies as wellCommercial filters added to the porous media databaseTransient Analysis improved Runs faster Can set a hard-stop goal (Good for soak-out transients) Time-averaged goal plots can now also be saved CAPINC 29. COMPARE RESULTSWas new in 2013 - Compare results across multiple Studies / Configurations Side-by-side display of color-plot results, or; (single-valued) Goals plotted side-by-side, or in one table2015 adds support of array-valued results Can now compare X-Y Parameter plots Goal plots merged into one: Bar, Line, or history graph CAPINC 30. Rotating flow regions available since 1998, but; Inflow always had to be along the rotation axis Outflows were assumed to be radially symmetric The geometry (and mesh) are static, and; The incident airflow is what rotates Would miss blade-stator passing effectsNow (optionally) use a Moving Mesh For time-dependent studies only More broadly applicable More accurate edge effects Better cycle-averaging of reported goals CAPINC 31. FEA SimElation Load-Case manager Shell Contacts, & Shell Manager Solvers Better, Faster, StrongerPlastics Venting Non-Ortho Voxel mesherFlow Solve the flow, keep working in the CAD Rotating Mesh !!! (watch this space in the future) CAPINC 32. Keith PedersenPrincipal Applications Engineer 33. The End
