Improved FE Import
Back to top
Import of FE models via External Model is Faster, More Robust and brings in
more Data.
Nodal Orientations

Before After
Export AVZ file for viewing results without full product installation.
Quickly create simple geometry (a box) inside Mechanical without going back
into CAD.
From the Project Schematic, Workbench and Mechanical enable you to link and
transfer the updated assembly configuration from a Rigid Body Dynamics to a
Mechanical analysis system.
For example, you might wish to convert a set of bodies from rigid to flexible and
perform a static analysis at a given configuration.
Physics Enhancements
Beam submodeling
Back to top
Import External Data directly to target nodes/element. Map material data via
Rotation Acceleration

Enhanced Probes
Back to top
Move the Label, See the probe XYZ Location, Easily Delete Probes, and Export
the Probe Table.
Premeshed Cyclic
Back to top
Allows for cyclic in Model Assembly, ACP Composites, and External Model
Workflows.
Set via Tools->Options to allow user to specify his own scratch solver directory
outside of project directory structure.
Use free standing remote points for creation of chained linkages or free nodes
for use in Command Objects.
