#Ironcad multiphysics update#

Update the default Joule heating energy conversion constant so the default setting is 100% electrical to thermal energy conversion. Update the equivalent strain formulation with a scaling factor of 2/3 so it matches the commonly used uni-axial stress and strain definition. Update the result contour unit setting so it is always the same as user's unit. Update the default licensing scheme so the evaluation and starter licenses will include the new rigid-body-kinematic license. Fix a material library access to properly review all library data not just those previously used. User can control this tying tolerance control by enlarging the default tying gap from 5% of the mesh size to as large as 100% or larger for a quick analysis and design review. Enhance the auto-tying feature such that loose parts with large gap can be automatically tied as one connected body.

In short, our latest version of IronCAD Multiphysics provides the technical and functional prowess our engineers and users need to create stunning and, more importantly, accurate FEA simulations for all proficiency levels. With a more refined user interface, an expandable/customizable material database consisting of more than 500 different types of material data, and enhanced multithread controls taking advantage of the new generation of scalable CPU's, we are providing a new and improved program that is inarguably faster and more convenient for model creation, selection, and display control. In addition, new results review features (comprised of new contour coloring controls and more extensive result displays), enhanced stabilization processes and improved contact pressure predictions allow users more accurate and realistic design analysis earlier in the digital prototyping cycle, and with this array of enhanced assembly analysis functionalities, designers and users can enjoy quicker, more granular element-evaluation from the onset of their designing process. Critical parts needing accurate analysis continue to be analyzed using Sefea multi-physics while non-crucial parts or connecting mechanism are treated as rigid bodies to transmit the constraints, loads, or motion needed for an integrated assembly analysis. The new rigid body kinematic (RBK) capability now dramatically speeds up the analysis by mixing rigid body and finite element technologies. In MPIC 2019, we have added several key technologies designed specifically for CAD assembly analysis.

With the advent of our newest features and updates, built to quicken design cycles, simplify analysis setup, and reduce analysis times, IronCAD has improved and refined MPIC, further increasing the ease of use and functionality of our widely touted FEA simulation software.
