What's New?

New Functionalities

On the Fly Information
Displays information on composites elements while moving the cursor over them.
Darts
Darts can be created with a specific command, or within the producibility command.
Ply Section
Creates section views of the stacking or of the plies without exploding them beforehand.
 

Enhanced Functionalities

Material library management
Instead of selecting a whole catalog, you will select only the materials you intend to use, from one or several catalogs. They will be stored as Composites Parameters so that the Composites data can be understood and updated even if the catalogs are not available.
This impacts the way you modify materials in plies.
Pre-R18 models must be upgraded.
Plies Group
The Plies Group dialog box lets you lock the draping direction of all the plies of the plies group.
Producibility
Provides:
the capability to determine whether the ply/cut-piece shape would fit into the given material roll width of the ply.
the capability to create a dart within the command.
Flattening
Provides the capability to determine whether the ply shape would fit into the given material roll width of the ply.
