Altair HyperMesh

New Features

Support of the new Radioss 2023 profile
Joint Creation Tool
  • This new tool enables the automatic creation of KJOINT2 and CYL_JOINT elements, as well as the rigid attachments of the joint to the selected connected parts
  • The tool is accessible from the Model Ribbon:

Time Step Mass in Mass Summary Tool
  • A new option in the Mass Summary Tool enable the calculation of the solver numerical added mass due to the elemental time step
  • From the guide bar, click and select the Consider Time Step Mass checkbox.

Resolved Issues

  • Correction in reading the Engine keywords /DT/AMS
  • Correction of the dynamic graphical update of /RBODY when modifying the node set in case of a formula set
  • Correction in reading /VISC/PRONY when the keyword is encrypted
  • Correction in reading and exporting Area and Inertia attributes in /PROP/BEAM when Beamsection is Unresolved
  • In some cases, /GRNOD/NODE referred into /INTER keyword was exported as an empty /GRNOD/GENE set. This issue is now corrected.
  • CYL_JOINT is now implemented correctly.
