Hello Everyone,

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

Solution: Battery Thermo Electric

Solver: OptiStruct

Battery Thermo Electric: Solutions > Applications > Battery
- OptiStruct battery thermal solution is supported.
- Thermal and electrical subcases are automatically coupled.
- Battery ECM parameters and initial conditions can be setup from analysis ribbon.

Battery Model: Battery Thermo Electric Solution > Analysis > Battery
- Equivalent circuit model parameters can be defined from Battery Model.
- First and second order ECM circuits are supported.
- Parameters can be constant or bilinear tables.

Solution: Non-linear Transient Heat Transfer

Solver: OptiStruct

Non-linear Transient Heat Transfer: Solutions > Physics > Thermal
- Non-linear transient heat transfer solution is supported.
- This is helpful for battery thermal management solutions.

Results

Contour Results: Results
- RBODY results are supported for Radioss drop/impact analysis.
- An RBE body is created in assembly and RBODY results are mapped to it.
- Reaction forces and enforced displacements at rigid body reference nodes can be measured.

Tools

Remove Details: Geometry > Body > Feature
- Remove details tool is extended to remove the details on the connected Parasolid bodies (General bodies).

Create Bolt For Sheet Body: Advanced > Bolt Modeling > 1D Bolt
- New tool is added to establish the connections between sheet body bolt holes using RBE.

Thanks & Regards,
