Product: Abaqus/CAE
Benefits: Abaqus/CAE now provides improved performance for connectors and many common modeling and postprocessing activities. These enhancements provide a more productive modeling and postprocessing environment, especially for very large and complex models.
Description: Several improvements now provide a faster experience for many modeling and postprocessing activities in Abaqus/CAE. These enhancements include the following performance upgrades:
Abaqus/CAE provides faster import of input files with a large number of sections and engineering features, such as fasteners and couplings. Abaqus/CAE also provides better performance for working on model databases with large numbers of features, surfaces, and sets; and Abaqus/CAE allows you to switch between modules more quickly.
The writing of coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian analysis input files with large volume fraction discrete fields is now an order of magnitude faster.
Improved connector performance is available in Abaqus/CAE for models created with this release. These improvements are most significant in models that contain hundreds of connectors. You can now create and display large numbers of connectors and fasteners more quickly.
You can create sets and surfaces more quickly.
Section assignment is now faster, and section assignments load more quickly in the Section Assignment Manager dialog box.
Abaqus/CAE now loads large model databases more quickly.
Abaqus/CAE provides better performance for models with hundreds of steps or more.
Loading of output databases is now faster.
Performance has improved for running animations, displaying glyphs, and manipulating views during postprocessing.
