What's New in 3DCS?
8.0.0.1 October - 2023
Below are a list of changes, enhancements and resolved issues based on the entire 3DCS suite or a specific CAD system available with 3DCS. Please review the list of changes and don't hesitate to ask about a specific change.
Any text written with a teal highlight refers to any Simulation Output change. In other words, some calculation changes were made to either a distribution, a measurement output or DLL result. This could result in minor changes to a previous Model Simulation output.

3DCS Variation Analyst is a powerful dimensional analysis tool that predicts the amounts of variation and highlights the causes for part and process variation in multi-stage assemblies. It empowers manufacturers to prevent build problems by quickly evaluating part tolerances, assembly tooling and sequencing ahead of time in the product development stage, so that desired fit and function specifications are achieved in production.

Enhancements
Moves•The Run Log displays the correct number of hole diameters to allow the Pattern move to build the parts. (71560) Compliant•The Edit Direction button is added to the Join move to allow editing all directions in one dialog. (71916) •LoadFEA move now reads correctly the *.lis file generated from ANSA *.cdb file. The error was occurring when the command "/GO" was missing from the ANSA *.cdb file. (72094) •StiffGen now adds ASET points into the modified ANSYS input file created by ANSA. (72093) •The nodes coordinates reading for the Ansa cdb mesh file is now corrected to read all the digits. (72089) •The initial temperature is now taken into account when generating the Thermal load file with Optistruct (v 2022.1). (71657) •Reaction force option is reintroduced to help separate the results for the Reaction Force vs Nodal Force which includes gravity or thermal forces as well. (71591) •Reaction force calculation corrected to match FEA results. (71134) •Contact move clears interference at all pairs now. (70261) |
Issues Resolved (Creo)
General•Fixed an issue with saving the model where Part's Parents was not getting saved correctly. (71845) •A Renamed Part will now be saved in the model even if it does not have any 3DCS data. (71200) |

Issues Resolved (NX)
Compliant•The crash that was happening when clicking the 'plus' sign in the FEA Linking is now resolved. (72081) |
No changes were made to the 3DCS integrated SOLIDWORKS platform for 7.10.0.2. |

General•Fixed an issue with creating Points and MTMs in an empty Product. The issue was: when a point is created and Updated Model is performed, the Points and any MTM created in the empty Product will disappear. (71444) Points•Fixed an issue when changing a Point from a non-Feature of Size to a Feature of Size, using the Circle Tolerance, will now correctly be saved when saving the model, regardless of selecting Update Model or not.
