Improvements in contact calculations and multicore meshing make
simulations faster.
- Calculation of contact interactions with the FFEPlus Iterative solver for linear static
studies is faster than previous releases. The overall solution time is improved
by using parallel multicore processing to calculate the stiffness for
surface-to-surface contact elements. In addition, the transfer of stiffness data
to solve the systems of equations is optimized because file-based processing is
replaced with function-based processing.
- The Blended Curvature-based mesher supports multicore meshing. There is no
limit to the number of physical cores that the Blended Curvature-based mesher
can access.
