Enhancements

Python API
The Python API has been expanded to include additional HyperGraph chart types.
The following classes have been implemented and/or enhanced:
  • CreateCurvesBySubcase() creates multiple XY plots looping over subcases from a single file.
  • MultipleSubcases() creates a subcase set that can be used to plot from multiple subcases simultaneously.
  • CreateCurvesOptions() modifies the curve options while plotting XY curves, similar to the Create Curves by File dialog.
    Figure 5.


  • CurvePolar() and CurveBar() provide API support for the chart types 'bar' and 'polar'.
  • CreateCurvesByFile() has been enhanced to plot multiple polar and complex plots simultaneously.
    Figure 6.


  • Window() class updates for bar and polar plots have been added.
    Figure 7.


  • DataFile() extracts component channel lists in a complex syntax which then can be used to plot complex and polar plots, similar to the Create Curves by File dialog.
  • MCFRACTION results for a modal transient response has been implemented for OptiStruct files.
  • PSDF and CRMS values for nodal results support for OptiStruct files.
  • Cross-PSD results and cross-correlation function support for OptiStruct files.
  • Multiple improvements to the Notes tool.
  • The 3D Chart Build Plots dialog has been converted to Qt.
  • SEAM reader enhancements for reading files with unwanted data.

Resolved Issues

  • UTF character support in folder names.
  • New Templex functions for debugging.
  • Additional bug fixes.

Solver Interfaces

OptiStruct Interface

Enhancements

  • MCFRACTION results for a modal transient response has been implemented for OptiStruct files.
  • PSDF and CRMS values for nodal results support for OptiStruct files.
  • Cross-PSD results and cross-correlation function support for OptiStruct files.

Extensions

Resolved Issues

  • Removing and re-adding extensions now works properly. Re-added extensions now appear in the ribbons, toolbars, and menus as expected.
