BETA CAE Systems 17.1.0

BETA CAE Systems 17.1.0 | 1.7 Gb

BETA CAE Systems announces the release of the version 17.1.0 of its software suite with new tools and capabilities to further augment functionality and facilitate CAE processes.

As with every major release, a broad range of new features and enhancements to existing ones add value to our solutions, reinforce overall process consistency, accelerate user performance, and provide a considerable boost on productivity.

The highlights of our new software solutions are listed below.

Enhancements in ANSA

– General
A new approach has been introduced in Model Browser for organizing model data in modular assemblies. Model organization entities (i.e. Subsystems, Simulation Models) can identify and collect internal model set-up entities. The Entity numbering scheme has been enhanced, allowing to optionally store Elements and Constraints of the same id. Multi Model: All loaded ANSA models can now be saved as individual ANSA databases, without activating each model first. Measurement entities can now be used as annotation anchors. Accepted values of user defined attributes can now be set and modified. Post actions (functions) can now be inserted for both CAD to ANSA Translators and Translator settings in ANSA.
– Topo
Operations of ANSA in TOPO menu can now be recorded and repeated on another model. New capabilities such as, removing joined CONs, picking and joining single bound CONs recreating the underlying surface of the involved faces, further advances geometry fixing.
– Meshing
It is now possible to convert the nodal to property thickness and vice versa. The relevant script function is also supported. Diagnostic checks are performed during the automatic detection of Volume entities definition.
– NVH Console
Optimized interface has been introduced. Furthermore, entities, such as connectors, coordinate systems, beam stiffeners and rigid bodies can now be compared within NVH Console.
– Kinetics
The calculation of nodal stresses/strains and modal displacements/velocities/accelerations on flexible bodies is now available.
– Morphing
A symmetric copy for parameters defined on shell elements can now be created. Significant improvements in the Design change tool for Cross sections.
– NASTRAN
The mapping of fiber orientation tensor is now supported.
– Abaqus
Fluid – structural Cosimulation is now supported. Eulerian analysis in now supported.
– Moldex3D
The mapping of fiber orientation tensor is now supported

Enhancements in EPILYSIS

– Performance and accuracy
Performance and accuracy has been significantly enhanced for simulations with contacts. Particularly, this affects contact simulations running SOL400 using the NLPARM keyword. Accuracy improvement for collision detection contacts.

Enhancements in META

– Graphics and results’ display
New display mode to visualize models photo-realistically rendered. Improved drawing of spherical, SPH and airbag particle elements. Improved anti-aliasing. Line Integral Convolution (LIC) display of vector results on shell surfaces for both CFD and structural results. Support of stereoscopic view for 3D glasses. Hardware OpenGL now used in batch mode with -batch_hw running option. Significant improvement in graphics performance with -virtualx running option on Linux with NVIDIA driver 355 or newer. Significant improvement in graphics performance with remote access running on Linux with NVIDIA driver 355 or newer. New running option for secure and restricted access to virtualx servers.
– Additions in supported interfaces
New option to read CAD files from CATIA V4/V5, IGES, Inventor, NX, Parasolid, Pro Engineer. Abaqus 2017 results. Abaqus electromagnetic elements. ANSYS Global Coordinate System-based damping and inertia forces. CONVERGE CFD native solver results. CDH/OPTRAN .pch files for panel participation results. IMACS SONATE vibro-acoustic results. LS-DYNA femzip-compressed AIRBAG_PARTICLE visibility data files. MADYMO HDF5 files. Nastran non-linear strain results. ParaView VTK, VTU and VTI files. PERMAS RMS displacements and Von Mises stresses. Universal Dataset 57 (unv57) files.
– General
New option to easily define different deformation scale factor per model. Fringe colors on RBEs based on deformation results.
Cut plane boxes with negative clip to remove from visibility selected model areas.
– Curve Functions
New function to perform Fractions Contribution Analysis on selected curves. New function to create curve histograms (distribution of y values). New curve comparison criterion named Complex Correlation Coefficient. New filter option named SAE filter 1981.
– NVH
Creation of display mesh from any file. Multi-threading Transient Response calculations in the Modal Response tool. ERP results calculated within the Modal Response tool. Pre-test analysis within the Modal/FRF Correlation tool through its AutoMAC functionality and Driving Point Residues method. Nodal results calculated on normal direction of the corresponding response node.
– A/LC Points
Points creation with uniform distribution. Coordinate systems associated with A/LC points. Export of points resolved by their ids.
– CFD
Support of adaptive polyhedral mesh. Support of polyhedral elements with more than 100 faces.
– Videos
Start frame and real fps of the camera extracted from avi files.
– File Export
Improved performance when saving images and videos both locally and using ssh -X or -virtualx running options. Capture and save images of any window, widget or GUI area. Saving of mode results in UNV 55 and UNV 2414 data block format.
