Enhancements in the user interface include:
  • Folder customization in the Connections folder.

    To better organize features in the Connections folder, there is a Connectors folder. The Connectors folder is similar to the Contact Sets and Component Contacts folders.

  • Improved use of the Tab key and shortcut menus.
    • You can use the Tab key to move between entries in PropertyManagers. Shift + Tab works in a similar way, but in reverse order.
    • In PropertyManagers with multiple selection boxes, when you right-click in the graphics area to make a selection, the Advance pointer appears so that you can advance through the PropertyManager selections directly from the graphics area.
  • More flexibility in treating bodies as solids or beams.
    If you select a group of beams or solid bodies in the Simulation study tree, you can select:
    • Treat selected bodies as beams
    • Treat selected bodies as solids
  • Linked error messages to geometry

Contents

  • Error Messages

    By linking the solver error messages to the geometry, you can more easily resolve any errors in the Simulation study setup. The error messages are listed in a What’s Wrong dialog box next to the study feature where the error was detected.
