Radioss Interface
New Features
- Support of Radioss solver version 2021
- The new Radioss solver version 2021 is supported along with major keywords updates.
- Elemental time step quality criteria
- The shell elemental time step is now available as meshing quality criteria, which adapts the quality of the mesh with respect to the solver elemental time step value.
- New encryption
- The new encryption using the keyword /ENCRYPT is now fully supported and encrypts Materials, Properties, Curves, and Failure keywords. The encryption process can now be started from the contact menu of the entities in their dedicated browser views. An additional column is added to inform you about the keywords that are encrypted.
Resolved Issues
- Issue 1: /BEGIN card is now editable in the Model Browser.
- Issue 2: Some keywords were incorrectly grouped as “ungrouped” into the Model Browser.
