SIMULIA V6R2013
Latest Release
The V6R2013 release includes enhancements to the SIMULIA DesignSight, ExSight and Simulation Lifecycle Management (SLM) product families as well as the CATIA V6 Analysis product portfolio. In this release, SIMULIA also introduces ExSight Multiphysics Extended Pack, an expert-level product that is an extension of the ExSight Multiphysics Pack. ExSight Multiphysics Extended Pack is part of SIMULIA's ExSight product family, which together with the DesignSight and Simulation Lifecycle Management product families, constitutes a comprehensive product portfolio for realistic simulation built on the Version 6 platform. ExSight is intended for simulation specialists and provides extensive capabilities for setting up and running Abaqus and other multiphysics simulations. The SIMULIA ExSight product family will be further enhanced in future releases to leverage continued advancement in Abaqus FEA technology so that analysis experts can further explore, understand and improve product performance.
By implementing simulation early in the design process designers improve productivity, quality and product performance. The design products offer two different approaches to Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to suit the needs of all users. Designers can take advantage of traditional FEA capabilities using CATIA V6 Analysis, or begin to leverage significant ease-of-use benefits from DesignSight, incorporating robust technology from Abaqus FEA. SLM enables design teams and decision makers to capture, deploy and enforce company specific simulation best practices throughout the enterprise for collaborative decision making.
Product Enhancements
3DS SIMULIA ExSight
ExSight V6R2013 adds several new modeling capabilities:
- Shell elements, important in aerospace applications, are now supported and allow users to vary thickness and other properties in different areas within the same model.
- Material properties for composites can now be imported from CATIA Composites Part Design (CPD) for efficient modeling and design updates of composite parts.
- High speed events and deformations such as mobile device drop tests can be simulated using automatic general contact, eliminating the need to manually pair contact surfaces.
- Numerous modeling enhancements including additional types of loads and restraints have been added, increasing the range of simulations that can evaluate the real world behavior of designs.
3DS SIMULIA DesignSight
V6R2013 provides enhancements for visualizing results, usability, and report creation:
- The "digger" tool has been extended to evaluate results, enabling users to rapidly peel away exterior layers by clicking through the model.
- Users can now group and dock viewing panels within the application for a more organized working environment and better use of on-screen space.
- Report generation has been enhanced to allow users to select specific information they want to include and automatically create professionally presentable Word documents. This feature enables quick sharing of meaningful results to drive collaborative decision making
3DS SIMULIA Simulation Lifecycle Management (SLM)
V6R2013 provides enhancements for data retention and collaborative working environments:
- Data retention capabilities allow users to eliminate unneeded files to save space and reduce data complexity.
- Users in multiple departments can now work collaboratively with the new task sign-off feature.
- A new "My Simulations" interface eases new user adoption of SLM by providing capabilities to create and run simulations.
- Product structures are now accessible through a filtered view, allowing users to easily share content, improving design collaboration.
