Altair SimSolid 2019.5.1

Altair has launched SimSolid 2019.2.1, is structural analysis software developed specifically for design engineers. It eliminates geometry simplification and meshing, the two most time-consuming and expertise-extensive tasks done in traditional FEA, enabling the analysis of fully-featured CAD assemblies in minutes without meshing.

Resolved Issues

- Improved robustness–modal results for large scale parts.
- Improved robustness–CAD import forvarious models.
- Fixed–errors in frequency response results.
- Fixed–instances where tangent face propagationwas not working properly on BC definitions.
- Fixed–issues with local coordinate systems:Createlocal coordinate system always locates at global origin, local coordinate system wasnot copied correctly between design studies.
- Fixed–solver errors with “Adapt to thin solids”.
- Fixed–import of CAD file names with multiple periodsis now supported.
- Fixed–issue with rigid part 'density from material'.
- Fixed–connections for parts imported into existing design studies are now created correctly.
- Fixed–CAD import of adjacent very thin parts being incorrectly labeled as duplicates.
- Fixed–section size editingforfillet welds.
- Fixed–severalcrash conditions: crash creating connection on parts w/ existing welds, crash importing a new design, crash when creating automatic connections, crash with high connection resolution, crash when invoking bolt/nut forces while bolt/nut tightening dialogue is up, crash on reopening project after setting parttype to general.
