LS-TaSC 2021 R1

Version 2021 R1, started in the summer of 2020, contains the following minor features:

• Efficiency improvements to the multidisciplinary optimization.
  Disciplines with analytical design sensitivity information such as NVH load cases will no longer do
  a full multipoint analysis – the values for the sibling designs will be predicted instead.
• Support of computations using the design sensitivity information in an NVH case;
  for example, “f2 /100 + f3*250.0”.
  This may also be used as an objective for an NVH analysis.
• Support for materials
  • *MAT_MOONEY-RIVLIN_RUBBER,
  • *MAT_HYPERELASTIC_RUBBER, and
  • *MAT_OGDEN_RUBBER.
• The minimum member size for parts can be enforced from the method panel.
• STL output of the isosurface plots are now possible.
  These can be used to create a CAD version of the optimal design.
• Support for extracting HIC (head impact criterion) results.
