Altair RADIOSS

RADIOSS 12.0 New Feature Highlights

What's New in RADIOSS 12.0




Contact
  • Tensile and shear Ruptures can be defined in the kinematic tied interface
  • Tied interface with penalty formulation resolves incompatible kinematic conditions
  • Activation and de-activation of contacts are available based on a minimum time step value
  • Rayleigh damping can be added to the contacts – interest to reduce numerical dispersion.
  • Concave as well as convex shapes could be defined in the “curvature” interfaces.

Elements
  • Crushable beams can be used for simplified crash models
  • New predefined sections for integrated beams
  • Deformation speed dependent damping for beam type springs
  • Extended “physical” Hourglass control to hyper-visco-elastic materials in HEPH elements
  • New kinematics joints

Material Laws & Rupture Criteria, EOS
  • Prager-Ziegler kinematic hardening in elasto-plastic material law
  • Fabric porosity can be defined in the fabric material for airbags
  • Johnson-Holmquist EOS for ceramics
  • Thermal radiation has been added for hot forming
  • Yoshida-Uemori material law for stamping – improvement of the springback analysis
  • New rupture criteria for spotwelds, welding lines, glue and laminate plane composites

General features
  • Transformations on sub-models will simplify the input set up.
  • Any fields of RADIOSS options could be defined using a parameter set.
  • New pressure loading function for hydrostatic, air flow, … conditions
  • Centrifugal initial conditions based on implicit resolution.

Improvements
  • Improvements of the Advanced Mass Scaling (AMS) - compatibility with mesh adaptability – new time step control for contacts.
  • Improvement of the Single Precision version interesting for crash, drop, … analysis
  • Speed up improvements thru starter and SPH inlet/outlet parallelization - (10M+ SPH models are running)
  • GPU porting of RADIOSS implicit iterative solver
