Tips & Tricks

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

Conversion Files .fdb in .erfh5 on Network Drive

It is not straightforward to do the conversion Files .fdb in .erfh5 on Network Drive in Visual Viewer. In order to make it work properly, it is necessary to map network drive to the local machine. In this way, the files on network could be handled like on local machine and the conversion from fdb to erf will be working properly.

Material Properties visualization

Check material properties on model

Cross Section Tool in Visual-SYSTUS

Cross-section creation becomes easy using the brand new Visual-SYSTUS cross-section tool !

Boundary Layer Mesh tool demonstration

Easily creating a connection between a tetramesh and an hexamesh is possible, using Boundary Layer Mesh tool.

Coupling windows for postreatment visualization

When comparison between results is needed, coupling windows and synchronizing animations is a key tool.

Parallel processing

“To pull a bigger wagon, it is easier to add more horses than to grow a gigantic horse.” This paraphrased quotation nicely expresses the basic concept of parallel processing. The speed of sequential computers has been doubling every eighteen months, according to Moore’s law. However, at any given time, that speed is limited by the state of the art in integrated circuit design and manufacturing. To circumvent that limitation, it is possible to split a given computationally intensive task among multiple processors working simultaneously.
