CAE Fidesys 9.0 Documentation

Version 5.1

Released: december 2022

Functional Additions and Improvements

• Added common contact with friction for FEM and SEM
• Supported order for the SEM - 9
• Added step-by-step loading with a change in the topology (composition of blocks) of the body, taking into account finite deformations
• Added elastic-plastic calculation for the Drucker-Prager model with tabular (multilinear isotropic) asymmetric hardening for small deformations
• Added calculation of poroelastic effective properties
• Added integration with BricsCAD and NanoCad packages
• Added linear isotropic hardening type 1 for the von Mises plasticity model
• Added calculation of thermal conductivity for orthotropic laminate shells
• Added calculation for orthotropic thermoelasticity
• Added the ability for material properties to set dependence on temperature
• Added the ability to calculate random vibration
• Added specification of cylindrical and spherical coordinate systems (preprocessor)
• Added ability to calculate materials with zero density for modal analysis
• Fixed display of results in the 3D view of beams for high SEM orders
• Improved and extended *.cdb file converter

Additions and improvements to the preprocessor

• Changed the interface for calculating Additive Printing
