Two new datasets have been added for use in results evaluation of granular flow: Grain and Grain Bin. These datasets require the Granular Flow Module.
|
|
•
|
New Standard Deviation nodes are available under Derived Values and Evaluation Group nodes. You can use them to calculate standard deviation quantities for each solution in a dataset.
|
|
•
|
For System Matrix evaluations, it is now possible to set a Cutoff Threshold at which matrix entries with roundoff errors are considered 0.
|
|
•
|
The advanced setting Define variables in datasets has been removed. The variables are now always defined.
|
|
•
|
In Global Matrix Evaluation and Point Matrix Evaluation features, it is now possible to make the result symmetric by selecting the new Make symmetric checkbox.
|
|
•
|
|
•
|
|
•
|
The Cut Line and Cut Plane datasets now define an index variable that evaluates to the line or plane index. This lets you access each individual plane when additional parallel lines or planes are defined.
|
|
•
|
You can now evaluate multiple curves and multiple surfaces separately in integration, average, maximum, minimum, and measurement numerical evaluation features. This is applicable when the underlying dataset is Cut Line or Cut Plane and additional parallel lines or parallel planes are defined. It is also applicable when the underlying dataset is Shell or Layered Material and several through-thickness locations are defined.

•
|
Two new plot types have been added for plotting granular flow: Grain (1D) and Grain Positions (2D and 3D). These plots require the Granular Flow Module.
|
|
•
|
A new Table Arrow plot is available for plotting arrows based on data taken from a table or evaluation group.
|
|
•
|
The plot Quality settings can now be specified centrally in the plot group. A new Evaluation settings option in plots defines whether the Quality settings are taken from the parent plot group or are specified in the selected plot.
|

|
|
•
|
A new Solution Array attribute node makes it possible to efficiently create plot arrays from a selection of multiple times, eigenvalues, or parameter values.
|
|

|
Multiple improvements have been made to the Streamline, Streamline Multislice, and Streamline Surface plots; see details below:
|
|
-
|
To enhance the look of streamlines that originate from a boundary or an edge in Streamline (2D and 3D) and Streamline Surface (3D) plots, it is now possible to make the density of the streamlines magnitude-dependent.
|
|
-
|
When the positioning is Uniform density or Magnitude controlled, the Separating distance, Minimum distance, and Maximum distance settings have been changed to Density level, Minimum density level, and Maximum density level, respectively.
|
|
-
|
The default values for the Maximum number of integration steps settings have been increased. The property is renamed from maxsteps to maxintegrationsteps.
|
|
•
|
The Use parameter indicator for solution and phase checkbox is now available when the Title type in plots is Label. Previously, it was only available for Custom titles.
|
|
•
|
Legends in graph plots, x- and y-axis labels in plot groups, and parameter indicators in plot group titles now support the use of mixed-mode LaTeX commands.
|
|
•
|
Color legend titles in plots now support the use of HTML tags; enclose text in the title with, for example, <b> <b> to render it in a bold font.
|
|
•
|
You can now control the color of node points in 2D and 3D Mesh plots by selecting a color from the Point color list in the Coloring and Style section.
|
|
•
|
Previously, annotations were automatically taken from the table headers in Table Annotation plots; it is now possible to choose where to take the labels from: Row headers, Row numbers, Label (the plot’s label), or Manual (to specify your own annotation).
|
|
•
|
You can now plot the normalized arc length on the x-axis in Line Graph plots by selecting the Normalize checkbox in the x-Axis Data section.
|
|
•
|
A Normalization setting has been added to the Polarization plot. The polarization ellipse size can now be normalized either to each diffraction order or to the largest diffraction efficiency. There is also a Manual option that allows you to enter a value in the Scale field.
|
|
•
|
An option for 1/12 octave bands is now available in Octave Band plots.
|
|
•
|
In the Plot Array settings for plot groups, the Enable checkbox and Array shape list have been replaced with an Array type list, from which you can choose None, Line, or Square.
|
|
•
|
The frame and background are now optional in graph legends in 1D plot groups. Clear the Background checkbox to remove the frame and background, if desired.
|
|
•
|
|
•
|
Smoothing settings can now be applied to Arrow Line and Arrow Surface plots when the Placement of the arrows is set to Mesh vertices.
|
|
•
|
In Graph Marker subnodes, when displaying Max and Min markers, there is now a Use cubic interpolation checkbox, which, if selected, can provide a more accurate estimation of the extreme values.
|
|
•
|
A new functionality in Selection subnodes lets you map evaluations on boundaries to their adjacent domains. This functionality can help produce more accurate plots when the adjacent domains have strongly contrasting material properties, for example. When the Geometric entity level is Domain, choose Selected domains from the Evaluate in list to enable the functionality. The Adjacent boundary option (selected by default) corresponds to the behavior in version 6.3 and earlier. It is also possible to control whether boundaries external or internal to the selection are included in the plot by selecting the Exterior boundaries and Interior boundaries checkboxes, respectively.
