Usage of Rainflow Counting tool in fatigue standards: Eurocode3 Fatigue (EN1993-1-9, 2005), EN 13001 Fatigue (2018), DIN 15018 (1984), F.E.M. 1.001 (3rd, 1998);
Replaced Elemental (beta) method with Elemental-Nodal method in Weld Force Summation tool and Weld Strength standards: Eurocode3 Welds (EN1993-1-8, 2005), DNV OS-C101-LRFD Weld Strength (2011), DNV OS-C201-WSD Weld Strength (2011);
Support of new CAE (Femap 2401, Ansys 2024 R1, Simcenter 3D 2312)
For SDC Verifier and SDC for Femap analyses of following types (with options) were added: Normal Modes, Nonlinear Static;
Import of beam model from file (for SDC Verifier and SDC for Femap):
Possibility to read element orientations from geometry in Ansys.
Added flow tables, criteria and contour plots for Rainflow Summation Check;
Improvements:
Updated formulas of checks ‘12..Shear Check’ and ‘14..Bending Check’ in Eurocode3 Members (EN1993-1-1, 2005) standard to apply reduction of shear area to respective axis instead of reduction to full cross section;
Updated formulas in ABS FPI Plate Buckling (2014) standard;
Added possibility to select multiple items in project tree:
Added possibility to use custom defined legend and High Fidelity option in Ansys;
Added possibility to import/export factors for Predefined Load Cases from/to Json files;
Added option in Predefined Load Cases to show duplicated combinations for the same categories;
SDC Verifier specific:
Improved importing of Geometry or Analysis Model;
Added possibility to set random colors for properties and materials;
Added possibility to view list of geometry and option to show/hide;
Possibility to show/hide contact regions and connections;
Increased performance of Rainflow Counting Tool calculations and decreased project loading time when loading history for load groups;
Increased performance of optimization tool for plate element thickness rule;
Added option in preferences to export data to Excel using COM object (installed Excel required) or OpenXML (installed Excel is not required);
Several UI updates and other minor improvements.
