四、總結(jié)
總的來說,聚焦于層合復(fù)合材料的Laminate Tools橋接了復(fù)合材料設(shè)計、分析和制造的整個流程,強(qiáng)大的可視化功能使其在審核設(shè)計和查明材料特性需要審查的問題區(qū)域時極具使用價值,創(chuàng)建復(fù)雜層合板的功能使其在處理大量鋪層信息時極其有用,創(chuàng)建并輸出單層信息表的功能使其在逐層檢查和鋪層可視化上極具優(yōu)勢。Laminate Tools使用至今,已被證明是在分析和設(shè)計師之間分享信息的高效工具,它的推廣必將推動復(fù)合材料在更多領(lǐng)域、更廣范圍內(nèi)的應(yīng)用。目前最新版本為4.1版,具體技術(shù)咨詢可以聯(lián)系CAEDA Ltd.中國總代理公司。作者: caefinder 時間: 2012-1-16 09:32

New features in Laminate Tools version 4.2 (first release, since launch of version 4.1)
Geometry
greatly improved geometry translation, with additional control parameters and faster sewing
when loading named surfaces, element sets are also created for the component surfaces of merged surfaces, for easy picking
Design
implemented material/ply/layup export to spreadsheet, to be used for re-importing onto a morphed or translated mesh
added option to import material/ply/layup from spreadsheet onto a translated mesh
implemented ply mirroring and cloning
implemented element set mirroring and cloning
enabled auto merge of material properties on layup file import (by name, if existing type is undefined)
implemented draped pattern outputs (incl. exact) for projected type plies (ply boundary)
added option to import layup file for one element set only
added option to define ply or offset vectors by picking nodes
changed usage and naming convention for imported PlyMaster materials, to reduce number of materials added
modified COM command “l(fā)ayup define/append” to generate global ids
added COM automation function SetSplitEdgeIds
added COM automation function SetMaterialStiffness
Post-processing
added support for Abaqus files (INP, ODB stress)
added option to export generated failure calculations to Hyperworks H3D file format
updated Nastran OP2 support for new element type storage
added support for Ansys RST files for version 13 or later
implemented subcase deletion, fixed multiple loadcase deletion in a single operation
updated LAP export format for transverse loads and offsets
Manufacturing
implemented SigmaNEST spreadsheet output in Ply Book export
implemented data export for automated Robotic ply placement
added cut-out boundaries to Assembly Guidance laser export data
enabled the specification of text height in flat DXF pattern files
User Interface
added support for software based licence keys
improved Windows 7 compatibility, including 3D mouse usage
added COM automation function GetDrapeVectors
revised and improved default GUI graphics colours
plus numerous fixes and performance improvements.
PlyMatch
implemented automatic recalibration for mirrored parts
implemented optional display of tool probe together with model
added ability to pan when zoomed in
allowed the application of a new probe configuration without soft restart
implemented interface to inspect ply placement, calculate and export deviations
added hardware support for Windows 7
implemented fixed calibration method with 6 points
improved fixed camera calibration method with 4 points, allowed individual selection of any successful solution
added ability to save calibration for multiple fixed cameras
