Altair HyperLife Weld Certification 2021.1 Release Notes
New Features
- Weld Fatigue Assessment with Solid Elements
- DVS 1608 applies to Welded structures from aluminum alloys in railway applications published by German Welding Society. This release of HyperLife Weld Certification supports fatigue endurance assessment of welded joints made of Aluminum alloys in railway applications as per the DVS 1608 recommendations.
- Abaqus and ANSYS Files Support for Shell Models
- Welded evaluation for shell elements now supports Abaqus files (INP and ODB) and ANSYS files (CDB and RST).
- HyperLife Weld Certification Session File (HLF)
- The HLF file retains the HyperLife Weld Certification settings: weld data, assigned regulation, material selection, and load mapping.
- Modify Weld Type
- The Weld Manager facilitates modifying the type of weld automatically detected by the tool. For example, T-weld to L-weld or Cross-weld to T/ L-weld. This in turn updates the number of evaluation points based on the new weld type selection.
