For the viscous model, you can specify the time type (total or creep) and the Anand, Darveaux, double power, power, and time power laws.For the cap plasticity model, you can specify the time type (total or creep) and the power and time power laws.For the creep model, you can specify the time type (total or creep) and the Anand, Darveaux, and double power laws.You can create gap conductance, gap radiation, and gap convection material behaviors.The Section Manager features a Material column to easily identify the materials associated with each section.You can now define bilamina plasticity.Several enhancements are available for the SOLIDWORKS Associative Interface for Abaqus/CAE.For node-based submodeling, you can specify intersection only in the submodel boundary condition so that Abaqus ignores driven nodes found to lie outside the region of elements of the global model.In the composite layup editor, you can use an analytical field to specify the thickness of individual plies.You can specify multiple directory locations in the Abaqus plugin_central_dir environment file parameter rather than just a single path.You can directly import CATIA V5 files as parts on the Linux platform.Using the Query tool, you can now specify a local coordinate system when querying nodes, distances, and element face normals in postprocessing.Support for import of CATIA V4 parts and assemblies is deprecated.Initial gap opening section control is supported for Abaqus/Standard analyses.Linear kinematic conversion section control is supported in Abaqus/Explicit.Support for coupled temperature-displacement cohesive and coupled temperature-pore pressure cohesive element types is available in Abaqus/Standard.The 2021 FD (Fix Pack) release in which new or enhanced functionality was delivered is indicated below using the convention FDxx (FP.xxxx) otherwise, the functionality was delivered in the 2022 GA release. Please refer to the Abaqus Release Notes in the 2022 SIMULIA User Assistance for additional details on these enhancements. This post provides information on new and enhanced functionality delivered in the Abaqus/Isight/Tosca/fe-safe 2022 GA release as well as functionality added in the FD (Fix Pack) releases through FD07 of Abaqus 2021.
