Version 2022.3: Announcing the New Displacement Analysis as an Alternative to Nominal/Actual Comparisons for Distorted Parts
Our newest release is full of long-awaited feature updates and exciting developments. You will benefit from brand-new features, such as the displacement analysis as an alternative to nominal/actual comparisons, the ability to tolerance the number of pores, and the option to transfer visual states quickly and easily. We’re also thrilled to introduce faster profile tolerances, an upgrade to wall-thickness-based refinements in volume meshes, and many more improvements you don't want to miss!
Version 2022.3 offers countless improvements along with the following new capabilities*:
Transfer Visual States Easily
Save yourself time, effort, and nerves—especially in a multi-part inspection—by simply copying & pasting the visual state of one object to another.
Introducing Faster Profile Tolerances
With our latest developments in geometric tolerancing, evaluating profile tolerances is now 10 times faster, more accurate and more powerful than before—even with tolerances that have hundreds of thousands of measurement points.
Announcing Displacement Analyses as an Alternative to Classic Nominal/Actual Comparisons
The new displacement analysis is an alternative to nominal/actual comparisons, especially for distorted parts. With unique hairline visualizations, you can now see which points on your actual object correspond to points on the nominal object. This feature comes with hairline display, tolerancing, and a histogram.
Tolerancing the Number of Pores
Before, it was only possible to tolerance the maximum number of pores with a P 203—but now no longer! Now you can do the same with a standard porosity/inclusion analysis.
Upgrade in Wall-Thickness-Based Refinement
Meshing thin parts of a volume is now more accurate than ever. By specifying the number of tetrahedral elements, you can greatly enhance mesh fidelity.
*Depending on the platform, there may be differences in the range of functions for different operating systems. See our continuously updated Product Information page for more details.
