even2004: Highlights of ANSYS ICEM CFD/AI*Environment Highlights of ANSYS ICEM CFD/AI*Environment 12.0 General Improved graphics display for mesh (especially volume mesh and quadratic mesh) Improved overall graphics performance through native display lists Load project remembers previous display settings Improved assembly handling tools Emergency save for Windows (previously supported only for Unix/Linux) Added support for Windows X64 (with 64-bit support) Workbench Integration5 Thickness data from Design Modeler comes into Advanced Meshing application Named Selections supported as Parts or Subsets Advanced Meshing application tied to Engineering Data application. Advanced Meshing can populate common mesh object for use in other applications (CFX, FEModeler, AUTODYN) Tetra/Prism mesh hooked up to Meshing/Simulation application in Workbench Geometry Interfaces Added support for Wildfire 3 with Pro/E interface Added support for NX 4 with NX/UGS interface Added support for SolidWorks 2006 Added support for Parasolid 18 Added support for ACIS 16 Added support for IDI (I-DEAS XML) version 12 Geometry Tools Settings > Geometry options for consolidated geometry controls Improved part naming controls Settings > Model for consolidated model controls Dynamic updating of tri tolerance Xmin, Xmax, etc., controls for endpoint creation Surface extensions for Y-connections Improved surface/surface intersections Improved curve extensions Midsurfacing by pairs option added Midcurve by pairs option added Shrinkwrap supports surface sizes Shrinkwrap supports material points (allows inside-out wrapping) Box from entity boundaries Keep dormant as dormant option added to Build Topology so that dormant curves are not changed to active or vice versa Delete all dormant points/curves option added Automatic Meshing Tools Surface Meshing controls moved to Global Setup so that they can be used for surface meshing or volume meshing Surface meshing parameters stored in tetin file for more persistent meshing Surface meshing controls for Mapped Tri mesh directly Surface based mesh type and mesh method surface meshing controls Selected surfaces can be remeshed when mesh parameters are changed Shrinkwrap surface meshing method added Hexa-core meshing with prism layers Hexa-core support for baffles New body-fitted Cartesian mesher Delaunay Tetra meshing part by part TGrid tetra volume meshing option added Better “Mix and Match” meshing controls (Surface Meshing, Volume Fill and Prism controls) Block-based Meshing Tools Better controls for 2D Surface Blocking (Free and Mapped Blocks) Multi-Zone Meshing approach added: 3D Volume Blocks (Mixed blocks of Free, Swept and Mapped Blocks with boundary layer of Mapped/Swept Blocks). 2D->3D Fill with Ogrid boundary directly to support MultiZone blocking 2D free face split option allows free blocks to be split, also with "island" configuration (free block with an internal cutout) Improved controls to modify blocks from Free to Mapped and vice versa Improved mesh controls for 3D free blocks to be meshed with Delaunay, Hex-core, or Advancing Front mesher Projected edge shape display option without need for calculating pre-mesh Improved Pyramid quality for transition to free blocks Improved swept blocks for skewed cases Merge nodes allows for multiple nodes to be selected Mesh Editing Tools& Improved create elements controls Improved diagnostics display with no need for subsets Improved quality display with no need for subsets Improved histogram display option to show color by quality in histogram Mixed linear/quadratic with transitional elements Mixed linear/quadratic with transitional elements Add/Remove mid-side node on edge Element vertex orientation controls added Improved mesh editing for hybrid meshes Display option for Mesh Dual (polyhedral elements) Improved multi-block smoother: oSimplified Interface oMultiple settings file support oBetter selection methods oBetter defaults Solver Setup7 Improved output for Fluent Pyramid support for Abaqus Added seatbelts for LS-Dyna MPCs for Nastran Improved Node/Element set handling Improved support for INCLUDE card Gaskets for ANSYS/Abaqus Generalized Weld and Constrained node sets added for LS-Dyna Active/Inactive Subcases Subcase support for ANSYS Support for thermal materials for Nastran
