Discovery AIM 2019 R2 New Features
• Shared topology
• Nonlinear springs
• Live to AIM enhancements
Suspension control arm bushings modeled with nonlinear springs
Thermal-electric-stress simulation
transferred from Live to AIM Transformer and cold plate (fluid-solid CHT model) with shared topology
Shared Topology
• Nonlinear spring
‐ Longitudinal or rotational 3-D spring
‐ Specify nonlinear force-stretch curves in three
orthogonal directions
‐ Enables simulation of nonlinear behavior of Suspension control arm, bushings modeled with nonlinear springs
bushings and mounts
• Structural beams
‐ Static, modal and random vibration analysis
Pedestrian arch bridge model with shared topology
‐ Create or extract beams using Modeling
‐ Share topology for beam and beam/shell
connections
‐ Contacts are not generated for parts with
shared topology
‐ Beam end releases
‐ Visualization of beam cross sections for
mesh and results display
‐ Beam results – bending moment, axial
Undersea platform beam mesh
force, etc. shown with cross section expansion
‐ Allows simulation of manufactured Truss system beam bending moment
structures shown with cross section expansion
Pedestrian Arch Bridge (Beta)
Beam, shell and solid mesh with beam cross section visualization
