New Features and Enhancements
- Advanced Material Exchange - Simulation Composite Analysis now includes Advanced Material Exchange. Advanced Material Exchange allows you to perform a structural simulation of a fiber-reinforced injection-molded plastic. Accurately representing the fiber orientations is essential to the structural analysis. With Advanced Material Exchange, you can map the fiber orientations to the structural model and characterize the nonlinear material behavior.
- Damage API - The new Damage API functionality provides a simple interface for you to define your own damage initiation and damage evolution routines. User-defined damage initiation is supported for both unidirectional and woven composites. User-defined damage evolution is supported for unidirectional composites only.
- Multilingual Versions - Simulation Composite Analysis is now available in German and Japanese.
