Browsers supply a great deal of view-related functionality by listing the parts of a model in a tabular and/or tree-based
format, and providing controls inside the table that allow you to alter the display of model parts.
FE geometry is topology on top of mesh, meaning CAD and mesh exist as a single entity. The purpose of FE geometry
is to add vertices, edges, surfaces, and solids on FE models which have no CAD geometry.
Tools and workflows that are dedicated to rapidly creating new parts for specific use cases, or amending existing
parts. The current capabilities are focused on stiffening parts.
Open animation files, measure various distances and angles between entities, and use the Results Browser to view the model structure and find, display, and edit entities.
Advanced averaging means that tensor (or vector) results are transformed into a consistent system and then each component
is averaged separately to obtain an average tensor (or vector).
Max of corner averaging means that the maximum value from all the corners of an element are extracted and the value is
shown at the centroid of the element.
Min of corner averaging means that the minimum value from all the corners of an element are extracted and the value is
shown at the centroid of the element.
Extreme of corner averaging means that the extreme value from all the corners of an element are extracted and the value
is shown at the centroid of the element.
The averaging options allow you to limit the averaging of results to only a group of elements that are considered to be
bound by same feature angle or face.
The fatigue manager allows you to write stress and strain results from a finite element analysis to an external file that
can be used to set up a fatigue analysis.
The fatigue configuration file is a user-defined external ASCII-file through which the data groups from results of static/modal/transient analysis of different solvers can be read.
Create and edit user-defined data type expressions, derived load cases, and systems. You can also plot a forming limit
diagram, generate streamlines, track entities during animation, and create and import/export sets of entities.
Query entities, create or edit free body diagrams, construct multiple curves and plots from a single result file, and
create and plot stress linearization.
Max of corner averaging means that the maximum value from all the corners of an element are extracted and the value is
shown at the centroid of the element.
Max of corner averaging means that the maximum value from all the corners of an element
are extracted and the value is shown at the centroid of the element.
Max of corner averaging means that the maximum value from all
the corners of an element are extracted and the value is shown at the centroid of the element.
The tensor and vector components are extracted and the invariants are computed for each corner
prior to assigning to the element centroid. For result components, the corresponding
components from each corner is extracted and then the maximum value is assigned to the element
centroid. For invariants, the corresponding invariants are calculated from each tensor at the
element corners and then the maximum value is assigned at the centroid.
For example, as
shown in the Nodal Averaging of Elemental Results topic, there are four tensors at each
corner of the element A: [A1], [A2], [A3], and [A4].
The max of corner aggregation of
the xx component at the Element A centroid is:
This averaging option is only available when the Use corner data option is
checked in the Contour or Iso panels.
