Expecting ANSYS & Workbench 11.0
release in mid-February
ANSYS 11.0 Update:
- New elements: SHELL281 - combines
capabilities of shell 91, 93, 99, 181, etc.; REINFxxx -
"smeared" rebar for solid elements
- Nonlinear Stabilization; 3D
line/surface contact; new material models (Gurson, Cap Drucker
Prager, anisotropic hyperelastic), debonding with bonded contact,
initial state definition
- Rotordynamics; joint element options
on MPC184 w/linear and angular velocity and acceleration
specifications, rigid and flexible body kinematics, improved solvers
- MULTIPHYSICS: new elements, high
frequency EMAG complex materials
WORKBENCH 11.0 Update:
- SIMULATION: structural transient,
"New Analysis" button (including transient, PSD, and
current solution types), Rigid/Flexible part definition, loads can
be constant - tabular - or - function, "Connections"
Folder in Tree Menu (was the old "Contact" Folder)
includes contact and all other joints/connections, postprocessing:
time history & steps
- FE Modeler: (in 10.0) can be
used to examine nodes and elements of a WB DesignSimulation mesh,
(in 11.0) FE Modeler can open a CDB (mesh) file and create a solid
body using its surfaces
- DesignModeler: symmetry feature
- links to symmetry condition in DesignSimulation, partial CAD
import (to permit repair of bad surfaces/edges), Boolean operations
added for primitive shapes
- DesignXplorer: new models, new
parameter manager. DesignXplorer in 11.0 is both products from
10.0 (DesignXplorer + DesignXplorerVT)
- "Unified Meshing" for
physics dependent meshing, automatic virtual topology for slivered
faces
- Explicit Dynamics - first exposure of
AutoDYN in WB

MathCAD Presentation
- MathCAD is widely used - (outside of
FEA) very nice documentation tool for formulae and units in
calculations.
- Can download an integration tool from
the MathSoft website to link MathCAD with Workbench 10.0
- WB DesignSimulation parameters can be
passed to MathCAD
