  1. What’s New Femap 11.1.1 / 11.1.2

  2. Femap 11.1.1Maintenance Release • Error fixes • Some minor new functionality

  3. Femap 11.1.1Performance Graphics Support • Display of material and element directions on planar elements now supported when performance graphics operations are enabled

  4. Femap 11.1.1Rigid Body Rotation – Coordinate System • Rotation of coordinate systems will now rotate all sub-entities as a rigid body • Loads • Boundary conditions • Degrees of freedom • Sub-coordinate systems New Modify / Align / Coordinate System command • Move mesh from one coordinate system to another

  5. Femap 11.1.1Rigid Body Rotation – Coordinate System • Modify / Rotate By / Coordinate System

  6. Femap 11.1.1Nastran Load Set Improvements • Dedicated temperature set definition now added to the Nastran analysis set boundary conditions • Load set IDs now maintained when bulk data files are cycled in and out • Currently supported in SOLs 101, 103, 105, 106 – others to follow • Previously you needed to manually add the temperature loads to the Femap Load Combination or one of its referenced sets. Femap would then create a synthetic temperature set making it possible to maintain set IDs.

  7. Femap 11.1.1Nastran Load Set Improvements • Improved SPCD load import with LOAD input entities • SPCD loads are read into a synthetic Femap load set and labeled as such • Structural loads are read into their respective sets and combined via the Femap LOAD combination • The synthetic SPCD set is also added as a referenced set in the Femap LOAD combination • LOAD entity ID is in addition to referenced structural load set IDs are maintained

  8. Femap 11.1.1Geometry • Geometry / Copy, Scale, Rotate, and Reflect commands enhanced to properly copy and transform geometric loads with the new geometry • Model / Copy, Scale, Rotate, and Reflect commands similarly enhanced to properly work with non-rectangular load coordinate systems • Geometry / Copy, Scale, Rotate, and Reflect enhanced to properly copy geometric constraints that either reference DOFs in a specific coordinate system, or that allow sliding along a specified direction

  9. Femap 11.1.1Geometry • Geometry / Solid / Fill Hole command updates • Allows you to create a solid from the hole within another solid File / Merge command updates • Geometric entities can now be included in merging operations in addition to FEM entities

  10. Femap 11.1.1Modify Node – Project Along Vector • Modify / Project / Point-Node along a vector onto surfaces command modified to better handle large numbers of entities projected onto a large number of surfaces • Resulting command execution speedup reduces from hours to minutes

  11. Femap 11.1.1Preprocessing: Model / Load/ From Free Body • Free body loads from one model can now be transferred and included in another model and installed using RBE3 elements • Free body loads copied from global model:

  12. Femap 11.1.1Preprocessing: Model / Load/ From Free Body • Free body loads copied into local model with RBE3 elements:

  13. Femap 11.1.1Beam Postprocessing • Publish beam cross section calculator API • Expose beam postprocessing engine • Recover mesh locations • Recover stress values calculated at cross section nodes • Allow users to postprocess well beyond standard FEA beam results

  14. Femap 11.1.1Application Programming Interface Updates • Stop API Tool command on the Custom Tools toolbar • Stops the currently running API program even when the interface is locked in current API calls Various new and updated API calls • Refer to What’s New in version 11.1.1 in the online help for full details

  15. Femap 11.1.2Maintenance Release • Principally error fixes • Some minor new functionality • NX Nastran 9.1 included

  16. Femap 11.1.2Composite Layups • Layup representation display includes: • Layup title • Number of plies • Total thickness

  17. Femap 11.1.2Performance Graphics Support • Trace Deformation Style now supported when performance graphics operations are enabled

  18. Femap 11.1.2Element Quality Checks - Pyramids • Jacobian element quality check updated for pyramid elements: • 0.0 (ideal) to 1.0 (poor) • 2.0 indicates the element has failed the Jacobian check

  19. Femap 11.1.2Geometry Measure and Load Expansion • Measure Between Geometry command expanded to support basic Femap curves – previously just Solid curves were supported • Sheet solid determination methodology updated • Load expansion times for large models with many non-manifold surfaces and equation based pressure loads reduced from hours to seconds
