New Features

Replicate Design Variable
You can now create design variables based on the replication of features, such as beads, bird beaks, dimples, and so on, or stiffeners (bulkheads and doublers).

New Responses
Two new responses have been added:
  • Buckling: this response returns a buckling eigenvalue for the selected mode(s).
  • Fatigue: this response returns life or damage values.
New Sampling Fit Exploration
Sampling Fit explorations create DOEs where the number of runs will be based on the desired response surface fit quality criteria.
Purge Feature
Files in evaluated explorations can be automatically deleted based on the selected file extension.

Enhancements

Mass by Element
Mass responses can now be evaluated based on element selections.
