Bar and plate analogues

  • Accelerated calculation of forces in bar analogues.
  • Added the ability to integrate forces from source solid elements of the plate analogue into target plates of the plate analogue, considering nodal forces in solid elements.

Improved accuracy of results when integrating forces from volumetric elements into plates of the plate analog considering nodal forces in volumetric elements and additional nodes on element faces

  • Added an option in the Copy objects dialog to copy bar and plate analogues (BA / PA). The option works separately for each BA / PA and applies only if the target bar/plate and all source finite elements of the BA / PA are selected for copying.
  • Implemented new mosaic plots of bar and plate analogues for control and documentation of input data.
