Enhancements

#New release

Added the possibility to set Single Fillet weld type in Weld Finder Tool and define from which side the weld is located:

Single Fillet weld type in Weld Finder Tool

Added new variables for weld type and weld side to be used in weld checks;
Added option to Load Set if it is a linear summation of elemental stress results or Spectral:

Standard=IL1∗F1+IL2∗F2+⋯+ILn∗Fn

Spectral=(IL1∗F1)2+(IL2∗F2)2+⋯+(ILn∗Fn)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√

New design of main window:

Added command to set Individual Load titles from the applied loads in steps in Mechanical (Ansys):

set Individual Load titles from the applied loads in steps in Mechanical (Ansys)

Added command to create Solution Combination from Load Sets (Ansys):

Solution Combination from Load Sets (Ansys)

Panel Finder:
- Added option to Panel Finder settings to set the maximum curvature angle of stiffeners;
- Added possibility to change if stiffener is curved or not;
Added filters and metadata (settings that the table was built with) to the majority of result tables:

Added ‘Recognize All’ command to run the recognition process of all recognition tools;
Added possibility to filter joints in Joint Finder tool by selection and type of the joint;
Merged Force Summation Table (over loads) and Force Summation Table (over selections) into one table;

Bug Fixes

#bugfixes

Eurocode3 Plate Buckling (EN 1993-1-5, 2006). Fixed formula of parameter ‘Alpha_cr’ in check ’1..Plate Buckling’;
Eurocode3 Connections (EN 1993-1-8, 2005):
- Fixed formula of parameter ‘Is Punching Shear Check Required’ in check ‘3..Resistances (CHS)’;
- Fixed formula of parameter ‘UF Combined’ in check ‘7..Utilization Factors’;
EN 13001 (2018). Fixed formula of parameter ‘Utilization Factor’ in check ‘1..Static Stress Check’;
Mechanical crashed when plotting in Ansys 2022 R2;
Plate offsets were not read from Ansys. Consequently, origin of weld parts in Weld Finder tool did not take into account the plate offsets;
Cross-section thickness was not displayed when plotting results in Simcenter 3D;
The Brace Stress tool did not take into account the display unit system when displaying results in the table;
Performance has been improved when opening Ansys projects that contain many solutions and loads in the model;
Performance has been improved when reading nodal results (e.g., displacements, reaction forces) from Ansys;
