Delta T Offset For Bowing Effect in Assembly Process
In case of butt joint of two plates, in reality, there is an eccentricity e between the neutral phase of bending and the centre of the tendon force caused by the weld which causes the typical horse saddle of a butt welded flat plate.. A functionality Delta T Offset  has been developed in order to overcome the limitation due to the shrinkage methodology that cannot provide correct results for a butt joint with a non-symmetrical welding. With this new development, it will be possible to apply an offset value on the thermal loading between upper and lower surfaces of shell. In consequence, the horse saddle effect of a butt welded flat plate is produced with Assembly solution.

Improve trimming with Overshoot
Trimming in PAM-STAMP can fail due to a too short trimming segment curve leading to not cut properly the blank mesh. This can be solved by using Overshoot option in PAM-DIEMAKER for CATIA V5.

『Sensorのオフセット機能(Load定義時)』
VPS2017に追加されたSensorの新機能について紹介します。Load定義の起動トリガーとしてSensorで設定した場合、VPS2017以前ではSensorが起動した時刻におけるLoadカーブの値が参照され、計算に適用されていました。VPS2017からはSensorが起動したタイミングをLoadカーブの時刻0とし、オフセットして計算を開始することが可能となりました
