Enhancements

  • Element set on component is migrated to property.
    • You need to ensure the property name is the same as the element set on which the property will be assigned to get the desired template behavior.
    • Element set will be written on the exported input file in line with *ELEMENT.
  • Structural and thermal loads from classic HyperWorks have been migrated to engineering loads which can be accessed from the Solver Browser with the solver mass entity.
  • The keyword *NONSTRUCTURAL MASS is migrated from the property to the solver mass entity and can be accessed from the Model Browser. A model check is also added.
