CAD and Solver Interfaces

CAD Interface

EnhancementsNX 1847

Support is added for NX 1847 for the native reader on Linux. Support for NX 1847 for the nativereader on Windows, as well as for the third-party reader on Windows and Linux, was previouslyreleased in 2019.1.1.

NX 1872Support is added for NX 1872 for the native reader on Windows and Linux. Support is notavailable for the third-party reader.

JT PMISupport is added to read JT PMI data for points. New free points will be created and the PMIattributes are attached as metadata.

New FeaturesVisualize normal loads and tangential (running) loads on group of shell elements

Use the new FreeBody tools: Panel Plot to visualize normal loads and tangential (running) loadson group of shell elements which are identified as panel (an automatic identification is as wellavailable at creation time). Available in Nastran (*.xdb, *.op2) and Optistruct (*.op2) formatsfrom the Aerospace > Results > FBD menu.Evaluate loads from either Element Forces or Grid Point Forces (GPF), and graphically observe theenvelope of the results for selected load cases.



Create a summary or minmax table entity with all relevant outputs for each selected panel and foreach selected load cases using the "Reporting" option.

Visualize nodal forces and force/moment diagram on bar elementsUse the new FreeBody Tools: Bar Plot tool to visualize either nodal forces or force/momentdiagram on bar elements based on retrieved Grid Point Forces. Available in Nastran (*.xdb,*.op2) and Optistruct (*.op2) formats from the Aerospace > Results > FBD menu.Generate a graphic envelope with either absolute or algebraic minimum/maximum.Create a summary or minmax table entity with all relevant outputs for each selected panel and foreach selected load cases using the "Reporting" option.

Query resultsA results post-processing workflow is now available in HyperMesh, and can be used to seamlesslyprocess native results (*.xdb, *.op2) in HyperMesh using the various tools available from theAerospace > Results menu.Create derived load cases based either on Linear Super Position (LSP) or Envelope. Envelopes(min or max) are generated based on datatype/datacompent metric, keeping in the derived loadcase all data relevant for the metric. For example, a load case created based on Envelope ofStress:Von Mises will host [only] full stress tensor information for the generation of that envelope.Perform queries on each result type stored in the result files, such as multiple load cases,components, different layers and systems. You can also perform additional operations on data andget dedicated reporting using the Min/Max, Ranking, and Envelope result query methods.For more information on how to query results using this new workflow, refer to the Aerospace- Results Worflow.pdf accessed from either your HyperWorks installation directory (<HWinstallation>/updates/) or Altair Connect - 2019 Documentation Download.
