Display mesh nodes in Visual Viewer based on internal number ID
Today it is not possible to display internal number of node within visual viewer. The only way is to display internal number within Sysweld/systus solver, check for the corresponding user defined one and come back in visual viewer to display the user define one. Meanwhile in the .Log file only internal nodes are listed. ITERATION 0 MAX. RESIDUE 0.414E-01 NODE (INT) 14817 COMPONENT 1

Solid elements morphing by twist in Visual Mesh
In the case of 3D meshes, the term morph can be interpreted as the change of appearance of a graphical object. The morphing process is then defined as the construction of an animated sequence corresponding to the gradual transition between two different objects, so-called source (initial) and target (final) models. The objective of a morphing method is to compute a transformation ensuring a visually pleasant transition between the two, source and target shapes

How to simulate welding process with variable weld speed and Heat power ?
In real process, the user changes the velocity depending to the distance already covered or still to cover in welding process. To better reproduce the start and the end of a welding process, the velocity must be able to vary during at least these two phases as well as the heat source power. And to be more generic, this feature introduces a time dependency of the heat source velocity and its power density.

Horse saddle distortion modelling in Visual Weld
Welding of structures involves complex interactions between thermal, metallurgical and mechanical phenomena leading to residual stresses and distortions, which play a major role during subsequent service of these structures. Controlling material characteristics, residual stress and keep distortion within tolerances via the computer can significantly enhance the performance, the quality of the product and the structure’s service life

Restart Sysweld thermo-metallurgy and mechanical calculation in batch mode
The aim of this article consists to show sysweld/systus users how to perform a restart computation when a calculation run in batch mode is stopped in middle for some reasons or not.

States: optimize the writing and reading of sessions with States
States within IC.IDO sessions allow the user to optimize what gets written to the session when saved and what is loaded at session opening and what attributes to apply to the session during use.

IC.IDO set up Collaborative VR sessions using ICO.Cooperate
Collaborative Virtual Workspaces powered by IC.IDO.Cooperate enable multiple participants to experience in Virtual Reality collaborative assembly, operation, or service process reviews. Reviewers can be either co-located or remote participants, connecting the multiple workstations in a peer-to-peer collaborative work session.

Ergonomics - Conduct RULA evaluation using ErgonomicsRamsis
Conducting Ergonomics Analysis of pre-production human-centric processes and procedures need not require the construction of physical mock-ups or prototypes to perform, record, then review repeated performance of proposed assembly, service, or operator tasks. Instead, using completely virtual environments process engineers can conduct meaningful ergonomics reviews, swiftly, reliably, and without waiting for the availability of physical environments.
