Modelling pretension of Bolts

To simulate bolt pretension, a new medium called PRELOAD has been developed. With this medium, the strain generating the pretension is automatically computed and applied on the model.

3D Combine

As existing 2D Combine in Visual-Mesh, 3D Combine has been introduced to undone refinements.

New pattern in Visual-Mesh 3D split

The aim of this new 3D pattern is to allow users to refine mesh on a restricted area

Computation Manager - Basic & Advanced mode

The computation manager help users to generate the computation input with parameters adapted to the model to study

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.
