PAM-CRASH 2G Interface 2021.2 Release Notes

PAM-CRASH Interface

New Features

Exported decks formatting
The quality of the exported solver decks is improved with the writing of all solver keywords field names.
Include organization
The Organize context menu option is now made available for all entities. Furthermore, the organization of entities into an include file has been improved to automatically consider all references linked to the selected entities. This feature is also available performing drag and drop of an entity into an include file.
Drive Mapping
On import of solver decks that contain includes, HyperWorks now allows mapping from one folder path to another to import include files where the include path written in the solver deck doesn’t match the location of the files. This includes different paths due to different operating systems. Found in Preferences → Drive Mapping, or in the Solver Deck import options, you can define the source path where the files reside, and the target path as written in the solver deck, and use this to successfully import files without the need to edit the include paths in a text editor.
New Keywords
MATER 240 (Material Type 240 - Muscle) and MATER 241 (Material Type 241 - Muscle-Tendon)

Enhancements

Intersections and Penetrations Check Tool
The algorithm is improved with following enhancements:
  • No intersections are reported anymore when solid component faces are exactly on the same level, or, when component shell edges lie exactly on a solid component solid face.
  • Previously, for nodes which are common to multiple components (example: T-connections, ribs on plastic parts…) the algorithm was considering the maximum thickness of the connected components for the calculation of the penetrations of those common nodes. This was leading to non-valid penetrations.

    A new option "Re-check component shared nodes" is added when checking penetrations on a selection of components. This option re-checks the penetrated component pairs having nodes shared by other components in order to filter out the wrong nodal penetrations.

Updated Keywords
PLY Type 0 (ITYP = 0) and PLY Type 1 (ITYP = 1)

Resolved Issues

  • Added improvements to LOOKU keyword for ARGUMENT and FUNCTION while create, edit, and plot dynamically.
  • Older options Apply Initial Metric, which are no longer valid, are removed from the list as the new Reference Geometries entity is available since the previous release.
  • Restricted the Entity Editor to display of set clauses to maximum 250 for ACFLD to avoid performance issues.
