What's New in V2014 (March 2013)

New Features and Enhancements

1. Support for Satin Weaves - Simulation Composite Analysis 2014 supports the creation and use of 4, 5, and 8 harness satin weave composite materials. This extends the full list of supported materials by Simulation Composite Analysis to:
   • Unidirectional Composites
   • Plain Weave Composites
   • 4, 5, and 8 Harness Satin Weave Composites
   • Cohesive Materials
2. Support for Fatigue - Simulation Composite Analysis 2014 introduces progressive damage modeling of fatigue loadings for both unidirectional and woven composites. A physics-based solution has been developed by Autodesk to efficiently predict the fatigue life of composite structures using minimal material characterization.

Supported Platforms
