Altair Multiscale Designer 2021.1 Release Notes
Enhancements
- Abaqus Multiscale Designer Material Model Export
- Enhanced Multiscale Designer material model export to Abaqus. The export now includes state design variable (SDV) names associated with each SDV. In addition, a minimum list of SDV output for post-processing Multiscale Designer material models is exported. These enhancements facilitate easier post-processing, where now in the post-processor you’ll see the name of the SDV and not just the SDV number.
Resolved Issues
- Multiscale Designer Material Models with Woven Unit Cells had issues with transformations not properly being performed for the Tow-Y phase. This caused some inaccuracies with material models of woven unit cell types only. All transformation issues have been properly resolved and it is suggested to re-run all woven unit cell models through Multiscale Designer v2021.1 to correct the issue.
- Convergence of Step 4 Macro Model Simulations (Virtual Test) with thermal loads has been improved.
