Analysis Library: Creates templates of commonly used analysis specifications such as loads, supports, and contact conditions. Users can simply drag and drop the templates to create loads/supports on any model.

Pin Connector: Simulates the behavior of the pin to transfer loads between two components in an assembly. It is not necessary to include the pin component in the simulation.

Virtual Wall: Defines contact between a body and a virtual wall. Can be used to simulate the behavior of walls, floors, and other flat surfaces that exist in real life.

Hinge Restraints:  Simulates a hinge restraint in a single step. Hinge restraints can be applied to cylindrical faces such as holes and shafts.

Mixed Meshing: Analyzes assemblies of thick and thin components efficiently by using a combination of solid mesh for thick bodies and shells for thin bodies.

Assemblies with Clearances: Most assemblies have a small clearance between the parts to account for manufacturing tolerance. Now users can bond these parts even if the assembly components do not touch each other.

Multi-body Support: Analyzes parts with multi-bodies. Users can mix different mesh types (solid and shell) and define contact conditions between the multiple bodies in their parts.

h-Adaptive Convergence: Automatically converges to correct results using h-adaptive technology. Convergence is achieved through an iterative process. In each iteration, the mesh in critical areas is automatically refined to produce correct results.

Fatigue Analysis: Performs fatigue analysis to predict the failure of structures under cyclic loading. Different S-N curves can now be defined for each component in an assembly which is integrated within the material database.

Fatigue - Load History Data: Variable amplitudes for loading events. Load history curve data for an event can be imported from a text file.

Fatigue - Rainflow Charts & Mean Stress Correction: Plots rainflow and damage matrix charts at any given location. Supports the mean stress correction option using either Soderberg or Goodman theory.

Nonlinear - Hyperelastic & Viscoelastic: Define or import engineering curve data into COSMOSWorks material database to automatically compute material constants for hyperelastic and viscoelastic materials.

Nonlinear - Nitinol: Predefined material model for Nitinol in the COSMOSWorks material database. Nitinol is a shape memory alloy used in internal medical devices such as stents.

Validation Examples: Numerous verification problems for linear and non-linear analysis to demonstrate the accuracy of results in comparison to analytical results.

Analysis File Management: Provides more options for analysis results locations. Choose to keep the results in either the CAD model folder, a sub-folder under CAD model location, or a default results folder. Users can also define separate results file locations for each study.

Using Steady State Thermal Results as Initial Condition in a Transient Thermal Analysis: Uses a temperature profile calculated by thermal analysis as an initial condition to a transient thermal study.
