Simulation Enhancements
Retain Joints
When joints are built automatically from assembly
constraints, you can retain them in the model when
the translator is turned off. You have the opportunity
to both customize the standard joints built from
constraints and author new standard joints, without
starting from scratch.
Continuous Load Improvements
Enhancements are added to help you define the start
and end magnitudes of the continuous load. Placement
options are expanded with relative and absolute
definition of offset.
In the Frame Analysis environment:
■
Define the end magnitude as well as the start
magnitude of the continuous load.
■
The Checked Custom size option enables you to
specify the offset and length of the load on the
selected beam.
■
Define offset using the absolute or relative values.
Frame Analysis Probes
New Probe and Probe Labels commands enlarge the list
of tools for viewing simulation results. The commands
help you to:
■
Create probes for selected simulation results.
■
Control the visibility of probe label in the graphics
window.
You can create one or more probes when any simulation
result is active, and then switch between results to
see values. Run the simulation, select Probe, and click
a node or any position on the beam in your model.
Created probe annotations are displayed when any
result is active. Click Probe Labels to toggle the probe
visibility.
