New features in Version 2.23 of CalculiX (check the documentation!)
Procedures
- Extended submodels to heat transfer analyses.
Materials
- Introduced the *DAMAGE INITIATION keyword.
Elements
- Correction to the C3D8I-element.
- Kept the node numbering while smoothing an existing mesh using the *REFINE
MESH,SMOOTHING ONLY keyword.
- Allowed for the use of composite shells in *HEAT TRANSFER calculations.
Boundary conditions
- Definition of a linear temperature distribution on a *TEMPERATURE or
*BOUNDARY card.
- Allowed for contact within cyclic symmetry calculations using the
*CYCLIC SYMMETRY MODEL,CONTACT card.
- Axisymmetric results from a global model can be used as boundary
conditions for a three-dimensional submodel.
- The first term in an *EQUATION can be a node set. As many equations
are generated as nodes in the set.
CalculiX GraphiX
- WARNING: The meaning of parameter 'e' in command 'comp' has changed
(see further down).
- Updated spherical shape which is now much more accurate (8 digits)
- Speed improvements for the tet meshing process
- Surfaces can be meshed with just one element.
- A special set which stores all model edge nodes is available (+EDGE).
This set can be useful together with 'graph' to plot results along
edges.
- Changed or extended commands:
- comp The parameter 'up' includes now all faces for which at least
one node is included in the given set. This is different to
the option 'f' (and 'do', which uses 'f') were all referenced
nodes must be included in the set.
- comp The meaning of the parameter 'e' has changed. Previously it
included the end points of the lines used in the entities stored
in the set (this is now triggerd by 'p'). Now 'e' includes all
elements for which all related nodes are included in the given
set.
An element is not added if a related node is missing in the set.
- prnt With the parameter 'capt' the program writes the captation (see
command 'capt') to the terminal and to the stack. The same is
true for the parameter 'ulin' (see command 'ulin'). Both are
text lines below the graphic 3D window.
- test option 'i' stores the included nodes now in a set "+PENTR"
