Hello Everyone,

Please find the below newly added features which will be available in the next SimLab release (SimLab 2024.1).

Solution: Electro magnetics

Solver: Flux

Sheet Lamination: MT2D / MT3D / MAC3D solution > Analysis
- Removal of the property “thickness of sheet iron”. It is not used anymore in results computation in latest Flux version.

- New kinematic load properties for MT3D motions: spring, resistive force/torque.
- Kinematic internal and external load properties now available for all 3 kinematic types.
- Kinematic load properties moved to “Mechanical Characteristics” sub-dialog.

Solution: Battery

Solver: AcuSolve

Thermal Runaway: Solution > Applications > Battery
- Below thermal runaway models are supported for Acusolve.
  - ARC reaction model
  - Heat rate model

Solution: Fatigue

Solver: OptiStruct

Material: Fatigue Solution > Analysis > Property
- Added an option to choose the interpretation of SN curve defined based on Range or Amplitude.

Electronics

NIST Materials: Analysis > Property > Material > Build-in DB > Electronics
- NIST materials is now available in SimLab material database under Electronics.

Parasolid: Merge Thin Bodies: Electronics > Tools > Merge Thin Bodies
- New tool added to merge the thin parasolid bodies to adjacent bodies based on the thickness.
- ‘Delete and close gap’ option is used to delete the thin bodies and align the adjacent bodies together.

Mesh

Planar Quad Mesh: Mesh > 2D Mesh > More Tools
- New tool added to generate quad mesh for the planar faces.
- In case of bodies or faces input, faces from each body should be from the same plane. Example: E-Motor, PCB layers etc.
- Edge mesh control is supported.

Thanks & Regards,
