FEM Additions

Description

Analysis | Idealise Model, Idealisation Settings

The idealisation option *ignore if prof. height smaller than’ has been added to filter stiffeners, pillars, flanges and swages by their profile height.

The idealisation option ‘ignore if prof. area smaller than’ has been added to filter stiffeners, pillars and flanges by their profile area.

Analysis | Create FE Model

All options to create images for investigation of FE models have been moved to the idealised block’s context menu. Only the options to create model images are left in the dialogue. Now two separate images are created for beam and truss elements.

The check box Unwarp shell elements has been added. Previously unwarping was done unconditionally. That makes it possible to create the FE model in steps applying one option after another or in different orders. Unwarping can then be done in a separate step at the end of the process.

Benefits

More flexible creation of idealised and FE models.

Compatibility Constraints

None
