Click here to install the latest version (5.01.01) immediately.
The most important new features:
1. Holes in plate
In a plate, holes can now be specified. The input is very simple and intuitive.
You can choose from a large number of basic shapes that are parameterized. The position and dimensions of the hole or opening can be adjusted by clicking on the relevant dimension line. The focus in case of multiple holes can be changed by clicking with the left mouse button in the hole contour. If you hold down the left mouse button and move the mouse, you can move the hole graphically. It checks whether holes overlap or cut through the outer contour.
2. Plates elastically supported
Plates can be supported elastically. The elastic soil is schematized as a number of springs that can support positive reactions only. The spring value of the spring will be calculated automatically.
3. Plate results
When you place the cursor near a displaced node on the Results tab, all the node results will be displayed in a pop-up window. (displacements, plate stresses, or plate forces)
