Enhancements

  • Changed effective_dof field in AUTO_HM_BEAM property to Check Box selection.
  • QuickSearch extended to most of the keywords.
  • While selecting TimeHistory in Transient loads, curves are now filtered.
  • Ability to create multi legged rigid elements from panel.
  • BCs and Loads creation widgets have the option to create/edit titles.

Resolved Issues
