			General Enhancements

			Graphics Viewing Enhancements - DS New enhancements to Workbench graphics at release 10.0 allow you to: Define a custom Isometric viewpoint, as well as define the "up" direction for orientation on screen. Flip through Previous and Next graphics viewpoints like history in a web browser. Control animation graphically in the new Animation tab. View interactive Capped Isosurfaces using a new toolbar. Customize the new Legend using a specialized dialog box. Configuring Panes inside the Workbench Window - DS On Microsoft Windows only, Workbench now offers control over the individual panes inside the application window: moving, resizing, tab docking and autohiding. Ease of Use Enhancements - DS The following ease of use enhancements have been made at release 10.0: Hide All Other Bodies. An ease of use feature has been added that allows display of only those bodies that belong to a specific contact region. Choosing Hide All Other Bodies from a right mouse button click on a Contact Region object enables this feature. Collapse Viewing Controls. Controls have been added under View in the main menu that facilitates managing objects in the Simulation tree. When Collapse to Model is chosen, all objects collapse under their parent Model object. When Collapse to Environment is chosen, all objects collapse under their parent Environment object. Objects Reference Help Pages. The Simulation Help includes a reference specification page that represents each object that can display in the Simulation tree view. Also License Level info of each object is shown. Thermal Transient Simulations - Prof Users can now perform thermal transient simulations using the following new features that have been added to support this simulation type: Initial Condition Object Timeline Controller and Tabular Data Window Load Histories Transient Settings Worksheet Transient Settings Object Thermal Condition Load Heat Convergence Added to Solution Information Output Thermal Results (RTH) File Handling Output Controls Recovering Unconverged Results Results Animation Enhancements Probe Results Sequenced Simulation Results Enhancements - Prof Changes have been made at release 10.0 for handling results in a sequenced simulation that were designed to enhance the user experience. Following is a brief description of the results related features that have changed. Animation. For sequenced results at release 9.0, animation was only done at the currently selected load step. True multi-step animation was therefore not possible. This has been greatly enhanced at release 10.0 to support true multi-step animation across all steps or just a subset. Result Minimum and Maximum over Time. At release 9.0, only results at the current sequence number were displayed. If a user wanted to find the minimum or maximum over all the time steps, he would be forced to look at each step individually. At release 10.0, the minimum and maximum values across the loads steps are computed and displayed in the Timeline window, greatly facilitating the identification of critical load steps and the review of results at that step. Reviewing Results at Different Sequenced Steps. At release 9.0, if the database was solved and the user choose a different step in the sequence controller, the program would automatically recalculate the result. This behavior has been changed at release 10.0. After selecting a different sequence number, to calculate the result, the user simply needs to choose Retrieve Results in a context menu available by clicking the right mouse button in either the Timeline window or Tabular Data window. This was done to be consistent with transient results and also to avoid potentially unexpected long delays from the auto calculation that was present in release 9.0 on large models. Resuming Solved Sequenced Databases From Release 9.0 into Release 10.0. Since the minimum and maximum values over time were not calculated at release 9.0, the Timeline window will be empty. In order to calculate the histories, users need to simply change the sequence number on the result and choose either Evaluate Results or Solve from the Result object context menu. Users wishing to calculate the histories for all results can simply select all the results, perform a Clean operation (on the results only, not on the solution), and choose Solve. Import and Export Capabilities - FE/Prof FE Modeler now allows you to import and export ANSYS, ABAQUS, and NASTRAN data files. A Template facility is also available to customize exported data. In addition, the import capability allows material data to be shared between FE Modeler and Simulation via Engineering Data. Load History Data - Prof Engineering Data now allows you to create and manage tabular Load History data. These load histories are used as loads in thermal transient simulations. Hyperelastic Material Models and Material Curve Fitting - Struc Engineering Data now supports Hyperelastic Material Models for use in analysis of rubber-like materials. In addition, a new curve fitting module allows you to compute hyperelastic material coefficients from test data. You can also graphically view the expected behavior for a given set of coefficients. Temperature Dependent Properties - Prof Engineering Data now supports additional Temperature Dependent Properties for Structural and Thermal analyses. Strain-Life Parameters for Structural Stee - Fati Engineering Data now supports strain-life parameters as a material property that can be used in low-cycle fatigue calculations.

			Geometry Enhancements Generalized Plane Strain Behavior Added as 2-D Option - DS Generalized Plane Strain is now available as a 2-D option for structural and shape simulations. Generalized plane strain assumes a finite deformation domain length in the z direction, as opposed to the infinite value assumed for standard plane strain. ANSYS Element Control - DS A new Element Control setting has been added to the Details View of a Geometry object that allows users to manually control the underlying ANSYS element options (KEYOPTS) for the geometry, or have the options program controlled (using the equivalent of the ETCON,SET ANSYS command). OneSpace Designer Modeling 2005 - DS The reader/plug-in for OneSpace Designer Modeling 2005, revision 13.20 on the Windows platform is now supported. STEP Reader Support - DS The reader for STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product model data) on both the Windows and UNIX platform is now supported. Suppress All Other Bodies - DS A Suppress All Other Bodies option has been added that allows users to unsuppress only selected bodies. Automatic Mid-Surface Feature - DM The Mid-Surface feature allows you to create surface bodies that are mid-way between pairs of solid body faces of uniform thickness. The body's thickness is automatically propagated to the resultant surface bodies. The faces can be manually selected, or an automatic mode allows you to set a thickness range and then automatically detect matching face pairs. Modeler License Preference - DM DesignModeler can run under two different license keys. When using DesignModeler in conjunction with BladeGen, it is recommended that the modeler license preference be set to ANSYS BladeModeler. This will allow both DesignModeler and BladeGen to run under a single BladeModeler license key. If the modeler licensing preference is set to ANSYS DesignModeler, then running both applets will cause two licenses to be checked out, one for ANSYS BladeModeler and one for ANSYS DesignModeler. Monte Carlo N-Particle Import & Export Support - DM You can now import and export models in the Monte Carlo N-Particle (.mcnp) format, provided the model contains analytic surfaces. Additionally, DesignModeler will color bodies imported from an MCNP file according to its material. Symmetric Feature - DM/DS The new Symmetry feature takes either all the bodies or selected bodies of the model as input and accepts up to three symmetry planes. You can choose either full or partial models to work with. If a full model is used, the selected symmetry planes will slice the model and only a portion of the model will be retained. The feature will operate on solid and surface bodies. Symmetric Support is then available in Simulation, no additioanal constrains needed.

			Meshing Enhancements Gap Tool Expands Gap Sizing Capability- Emag All gap sizing controls, used in electromagnetic simulations (Emag), are now included within a Gap Tool object. The gap sizing capability, introduced at the previous release, is more robust because of an improved algorithm. It has been expanded to include a control for identifying face/edge or face/face pairs, and controls for defining multiple gaps within a range specified by the user. The range can be specified as numerical values or as CAD parameters. Contact Sizing Support for Face/Edge Contac - Prof The Contact Sizing tool now has the capability for creating elements from face/edge as well as face/face contact regions. Automatic Virtual Topology - Now available in DS The creation of virtual cells can now be accomplished automatically for surface bodies in Simulation. Upon inserting a Virtual Topology object in the tree, users can specify criterion in the Details View for creating virtual cells. After choosing the Generate Virtual Cells context menu option, Virtual Cell objects that match the criterion are automatically inserted in the tree. Hard Divisions - DS An Edge Behavior option has been added to the Sizing control that allows users to define hard divisions or element size on a body face or edge. Using hard divisions ignores any Curv/Proximity or Element Size global settings. Method Options for Uniform Meshing - AdvMesh Options have been added to the Method mesh control tool that creates a uniform mesh of all quad elements or a combination of quad and triangular elements, over the entire part of a selected surface body. The methods are governed by a Defeaturing Tolerance and an Element Size specification value that is a user input. Renaming Mesh Control Tools - DS Any of the mesh control tools can be renamed to include the name of the part or body by using a new Rename Based on Definition right mouse button context menu option. For example, a Refinement tool scoped to a body named Tube can be renamed to Refinement on Tube using this new option.

			Loads/Support Enhancements Radiation Thermal Load - Prof A new Radiation load has been added for thermal analyses, applicable to 3-D model faces and 2-D model edges. Adjustable settings in the Details View include Emissivity and Ambient Temperature. ANSYS CFX Load Transfer - Prof A one way transfer of fluid-structure boundary pressure loads from an ANSYS CFX solution on to the corresponding Simulation model faces is now possible. These surfaces forces are imported as pressure loads in Simulation. Bolt Load Scoping Expande - DS Bolts can now be applied directly to bodies by leveraging a coordinate system to determine the cutting plane. Hydrostatic Pressure - DS - BETA Linearly varying surface load, such as hydrostatic pressure on a structure immersed in water. Elastic Support - DS - BETA Elastic Support.

			Solution Enhancements Remote Unix Settings Included in WB Cluster - Prof The remote Solver Process Settings included in the Details View of the Solution object have been streamlined to include all Unix settings under the WB Cluster. Weak Spring Stiffness Value Control - DS Users now can control the amount of weak spring stiffness for a solution. Prior releases relied strictly on a value supplied by the program. Now, users can add higher stiffness values to compensate for values that may be too weak to enable a solution or cause rigid body motion, or they can merely experiment with different stiffness values to study the impact on their simulation. ANSYS Memory Options - DS An option has been added in the Details View under Process Settings for changing the workspace and database memory for a solution.

			Results Enhancements Manual Modal Frequency Sweep Range Added to Harmonic Tool - Prof A control has been added to the Harmonic Tool that allows users specifying Mode Superposition, the option of manually inputting the modal frequency sweep range for a harmonic simulation. Strain-Life Fatigue - Fati Strain-life low-cycle fatigue studies that assume local plastic stress/strain are now included in the fatigue capabilities of Simulation. A new Hysteresis result has been added to support this capability. Hardware Enhancements Support for AMD Opteron / Intel EM64T 64 -bit processors in Windows Professional x64 operation system - BETA
