Chaining Remote Points

Back to 19.2 What's New
At 19.2, the Remote Point object has new scoping options: Remote Points and Remote Points and Nodes. Using these
options, you can scope a remote point to one or more other remote points, as well as nodes...
...thereby “chaining” the Remote Points together. As illustrated in this example, Remote Point 3 is scoped to Remote
Points 1 and 2 and its location is defined accordingly.

Topology Optimization Analysis

Topology Optimization Analysis has a number of new capabilities.
Topology Optimization — Linux Support
Topology Optimization is now supported on the Linux platform. All topology features and options are supported, except
Geometry modifications for Design Validation (this requires SpaceClaim, which is not supported on the Linux platform).
Topology Optimization — Lattice Optimization
You can now create lightweight parts using optimized lattice structures. The supported lattice types are shown here:
The Optimization Region object, as shown here, provides this new Lattice Optimization option.
Once the Lattice Optimization type is specified, you select the Lattice Type from the seven supported types.
Similar to Topology Optimization analyses, Mechanical automatically inserts density result objects. Supported lattice
results include Lattice Density and Lattice Elemental Density:
Topology Optimization — Additive Manufacturing
The Topology Optimization analysis has a new additive manufacturing-based constraint option: AM Overhang
Constraint. This constraint enables you to eliminate the use of supports for additive printing for a specified Overhang
Angle and Build Direction:
Topology Optimization — Loading Conditions
As you can see here, Topology Optimization now supports Inertial and Thermal loads for a Static Structural analysis in
combination with a Modal analysis.
Topology Optimization — Analysis Settings
The Topology Optimization Analysis has two new Analysis Settings properties:
 Region of Manufacturing Constraint: This property enables you to specify to Include (default) or Exclude
Exclusions. This feature supports the Pull Out Direction, Extrusion, Cyclic, and Symmetry Manufacturing Constraint
options. Selecting Include Exclusions satisfies the constraints for the Exclusion Region.
 Region of Min Member Size: This property enables you to specify to Include or Exclude Exclusions (default).
Selecting Exclude Exclusions satisfies the Minimum Member Size for the Exclusion Region.
Substructuring
There are three additions of note for Substructuring.
Substructuring — Modal Analysis Support
The Substructuring feature now supports Modal analysis. When using the feature with a Modal analysis, the application
can automatically detect all boundary conditions (as illustrated below) that exists in the analysis as Condensed Part
Interfaces. This includes Joints, Springs, Bearings, Contacts, Remote Points. In addition, you can manually add node-
based named selections to these interfaces. Furthermore, you can define the Solver Type as Direct, Supernode, or
Subspace. Lumped Mass formulation is also supported and Mass Treatment is now supported for both Point Mass and
Distributed Mass.
Substructuring — Condensed Part Properties
The Condensed Part object includes three new properties, as illustrated in the Details view example below.
 Generate Damping Matrix: This property enables you to include or exclude damping effects.
 Statistics: This property lists the number of master nodes used for the Generation Pass. This value differs from
the value shown for the Number of Master Nodes property of the Interfaces category, whose nodes are modified
and the Generate Condensed Part action is not executed.
Substructuring — Expansion Pass Worksheet
The new Expansion Pass Worksheet displays once you solve your substructuring analysis and select the Expansion
Settings object. With this new Worksheet, you specify the condensed parts for which you want to compute results
(Displacement or All Results, including stress and strain). To actually display these results, you must also make the data
available in the results file by setting the corresponding Output Controls properties in the Details view to Yes. The
properties you can control individually include Stress, Strain, Nodal Forces, and General Miscellaneous. By default,
the Stress and Strain properties are set to Yes. If none of these Output Controls properties is active (set to Yes),
condensed part results will not display in the Geometry window.
The following example shows Displacement selected for Condensed Part 2 in the worksheet, but not for Condensed
Part 3. Looking at the Total Deformation result, we can see the displacement of Condensed Part 2, but not
Condensed Part 3.
Composite Sampling Point

The new Composite Sampling Point object enables you to plot composite part result data. The feature displays the
through-the-thickness result distribution in the laminate for selected points.
Physics Enhancements
External Model
External Model — Geometry Synthesis Options
The External Model system has a new Project page property (Create Geometry) that enables you to choose whether or
not to create geometry from your mesh file. The following examples show a generated geometry as well as an element-
based mesh.
Imported Solid Geometry

Imported Element-Based Mesh
Only importing the mesh can dramatically decrease import time and significantly reduce the amount of memory used
during the process.
External Model — Importing Composite Data
You can now import composite ply data from Mechanical APDL (.cdb) and NASTRAN Bulk Data (.bdf, .dat, .nas) files.
External Model — Automatic Material Assignment
Now, whenever multiple bodies in your upstream mesh file are assigned the same materials, the application automatically
creates a Material Assignment object for the associated bodies. This makes sure that each body has the same unique
material identifier.
External Model — Importing Load Data
The External Model system now supports the import of:
 Thermal convection and heat flux loads as surface loads from Mechanical APDL (.cdb) and Abaqus Input (.inp) files.
You can also specify Convection and Heat Flux on imported Surface Load boundary conditions.
 Gravity boundary conditions, in the form of an Acceleration object, for Mechanical APDL (.cdb), Abaqus Input
(.inp), and Nastran Bulk Data (.bdf, .dat, .nas) files.
External Model — Promotion
You can now promote Connections to Remote Points. For imported Flexible Remote Connectors and/or Rigid Remote
Connectors, you can automatically create a Remote Point object from Worksheet that you can then use to scope other
objects.
External Model — ACT Extension
You can now access NASTRAN mesh-based databases through ACT extensions and console window.
Acoustics Analysis
Acoustics Analysis — Prestressed Harmonic Acoustics Analysis
Mechanical now enables you to perform a Fluid Structure Interface (FSI) Harmonic analysis using a prestressed structure
from a Static Acoustics Analysis. This simulation supports all acoustic boundary conditions and loads that are defined in
the downstream system, except the Absorbing Element boundary condition and the Transfer Admittance Matrix and
Low Reduced Frequency Model Acoustic Models. All results options are supported.
Acoustics Analysis — FSI Cyclic Symmetry
As illustrated by the example result below, Mechanical now supports Cyclic Symmetry and Premeshed Cyclic Symmetry
regions for all acoustics-based analysis systems: Harmonic, Prestressed Harmonic, Modal, Prestressed Modal, and Static.
Acoustics Analysis — Low Reduced Frequency Model
Harmonic Acoustics and Structural Acoustics analyses support a new Acoustic Model: Low Reduced Frequency. With this
model, for specific structures you can account for the interaction between an acoustic pressure wave in a viscous fluid and
a rigid wall, according to a Low Reduced Frequency (LRF) approximation.
Ease of Use Enhancements
Adding New Analyses from Within Mechanical

The New Analysis drop-down menu on the Standard Toolbar includes all the available Mechanical analysis types. When you
add a new system through this menu, the Project Schematic automatically updates.
Linking Analysis Systems

Mechanical now enables you to link and unlink analysis systems, such as Thermal-Stress or Prestressed Modal, from within
the application without having to return to the Project Schematic. This new capability automatically creates or deletes
the links between the corresponding systems in the Workbench Project Schematic. This feature supports all linked
analyses.
Preference Migration
Most ANSYS Workbench preferences are now automatically migrated when you install a new version of the application.
This includes licensing settings, Options panel settings, solver preferences, and Engineering Data settings.
License Selection
A new category and property has been added for the Model cell when selected in the Workbench Project Schematic. The
new property, License, enables you to specify the license that will be used by a new instance of the Mechanical application
for your model.
Create Temperature Results from Tabular Data Window

For thermal analyses, Mechanical now provides the context menu option Create Temperature Results on the Tabular Data
of the Solution folder and it enables you to automatically create multiple temperature results based on the selected rows
of the Tabular Data window.
Delete an Environment
You can now delete environments from within the Mechanical application if your Model includes more than one
environment. This action also removes the corresponding system from the Workbench Project Schematic.
Saving and Archiving Projects

Mechanical now has the file menu options Save Project As and Archive Project.
Import STL as Construction Geometry

The new Construction Geometry option, STL, enables you to import and view an STL file in your simulation. In addition,
you can export your existing model as an STL file and then import it, as shown in the following example.
Once imported, you can mesh the imported STL model (as well as your original model).
Boundary Condition Scoping Enhancements

You can now scope:
 a Fixed Support to nodes or element faces.

 an Internal Heat Generation loading condition to elements.
 a Heat Flow loading condition to element faces.
Invert Visibility
Invert Visibility is a new context (right-click) menu option that enables you to display all bodies that have been hidden and
inversely hide all of the current visible bodies.
Export Views
A new Export category is available in the preferences dialog. The Views category provides the property File Directory.
This property enables you to specify a default location to where you will export and/or import the graphical views that you
have created, exported, or imported.
Bearings Support Large Deflection

At 19.2, bearings support the Large Deflection property being set to On during Static and Transient Structural analyses.
Volume Result and Probe

Mechanical now provides a Volume result type as well as a Volume probe. This result and probe option supports body
and element scoping and computes the total volume of the elements gathered through the scope.

This is a new result type for Harmonic Acoustics analyses. It is

used in combination with the Diffuse Sound Field excitation
condition.
It enables you to predict the transmission loss of the structural

panel specified by the excitation.
Diffuse sound result item
SMART crack growth enhancements

The Smart Crack Growth object has a new property: Stop At Max Crack
Extension.
Using this property, you can specify the maximum distance for crack
propagation. Once the maximum crack extension limit is reached, the
application stops the solution process.
In this instance, the solution is incomplete and the Solution folder will
not be in solved state because the solution is not complete for all time
points. If the maximum crack extension limit is not reached during
solution, then the solution process completes normally.

Temperature dependent Stress Life Fatigue

The Fatigue Tool now supports temperature dependent S-N Curves.
Note that the Engineering Data workspace material properties Alternating Stress Mean Stress and Alternating Stress R-
Ratio are no longer available properties in the Life category. These have been replaced by the property S-N Curve, along
with the new Mean Stress and R-Ratio Field Variables as well as Temperature.
Temperature dependent S-N curve data
Pressure and link elements are imported

The External Model system now enables you to import link elements and pressure loads into Mechanical from Mechanical

The Solution Information object provides Result Plot Tracker options that enable you to view result contours in real time as
the solution progresses. Furthermore, you can add Result Plot Trackers at any point during the solution process.
In the previous release, this feature was only available for Topology Optimization analyses. Now, this feature has been
expanded to include Static Structural, Transient Structural, Steady-State Thermal, Transient Thermal, and Explicit
Dynamics analyses. New result options include Deformation, Stress, Strain, and Temperature.
Result tracker update option
Expanded scoping options for Response & Manufacturing Constraints

The Manufacturing Constraint condition now provides a Scope category of properties in the Details view for the Pull Out
Direction, Cyclic, and Symmetry options of the Subtypes property. The scoping options enable you to scope these
constraints to bodies and mesh elements, either geometry-based or Named Selections.
The Response Constraint condition now provides a Scope category of properties in the Details view. This category enables
you to scope the Local von-Mises Stress Constraint to edges, faces, bodies, and mesh elements. In addition, you can
scope the Displacement and Reaction Force constraints to vertices, edges, faces, bodies, and mesh nodes. For element
and node scoping, you can specify one or more elements or nodes.
Multiple manufacturing constraints
Named selection based constraints

Ability to evaluate results at specific topological iterations

Result histories are now available for the Topology Density and Topology Elemental Density results. This means they can
now be evaluated for specific iterations or animated over the solution.
The Iteration property enables you to specify an iteration number.
