VT Accelerator Optimization for Transients


Variational Technology (VT) Expanded to speed up
Nonlinear static and transient structural solutions not involving contact or plasticity Nonlinear static and transient thermal analyses

Makes solutions 2x to 5x faster for initial solutions Makes resolves 3x to 10x faster for parameter changes such as material properties, loads, film coefficients, etc. DOE can now potentially be applied to more complex solutions; not just linear static analyses
