WHAT’S NEW IN FEMAP 11.3Rob ter Brugge

Femap geschiedenis

• Waarom ‘bij blijven’ met de software die je gebruikt?

• Waarom zou gevestigde software als Femap blijven

ontwikkelen?

Waarom ‘What’s New sessie?

• Werkt icm 3D controller

View, Roll Thru

New method for front picking

• Turn on/off in File / Preferences /

Graphics

• If an entity is not represented by a

pixel, it will not be picked

• Works in single pick, box, circle,

polygon, etc.

Pick visible

• Rotate about View Center = Default

• Rotate about Coordinate system

• Rotate around Cursor location

• Zoom arount Cursor location

MODELINGWhat’s New in Femap 11.3

Deel 1:

• User interface

• View

• Modelling

Deel 2:

• Meshing

• Analysis and Results

• Post-processing

• New Element Type:

Spring/Damper &

DOF Spring to ground

Spring to ground

Example Spring to Ground

LxBxH= 1500 x 1250 x 1000 mm

Kokers 80 x 80 x 4 mm• Frame supported in Y-

direction, loaded with

gravity.

• Constraint by

Spring/Damper

• No extra nodes needed

Spring to ground (2)

• Analysis without Warning

• Small reactions at springs

• Nonzero constraints

• Combineert enforced

displacement met een

constraint

Modeling

MESHINGWhat’s New in Femap 11.3

Deel 1:

• User interface

• Modelling

Deel 2:

• Meshing

• Analysis and Results

• Post-processing

Interactive update of

shell/line mesh

Interactive Mesh Refinement

• Elementen stuk voor stuk

aanklikken?

• Kans op verlies van

eigenschappen, belastingen,

randvoorwaarden?

Interactive Mesh Refinement (2)

Interactive Mesh Refinement:

• Auto transition

• Shrink/grow selection

• Drag selection

• Loads/constraints propagated

automatically

Demo Mesh refinement

New smoothing algorithm for highly curved surfaces

Mesh Smoothing Improvements

Max Quads

• Goal: all quad mesh through triangle removal

• Will allow triangles when required

• With an odd number of edges there will always be one triangle

Quad Meshing Improvements

Example: default mesh contains 39 triangles – with Max Quads it’s just 1

Quad Meshing Improvements

Default mesh Max Quads mesh

• Internal element growth now

available with quad meshes

• Max Quad combined with Quad

Layers provides maximum mesh

customization and flexibility >>
