the positions of objects) as possible, before attempting to pick up where the parent analysis left off. Instead of simply running the model with the specified data, it will first load the parent simulation file and inherit as much state (e.g. A restart analysis behaves very differently to either. A standard OrcaFlex model behaves in exactly the same fashion as an equivalent variation model once the analysis begins they only differ in the way that the model data is presented to the user. Whilst a restart analysis tracks its changes against a specified parent model, in the same way that a variation model would, restarts are, from an analysis perspective, conceptually distinct from either of the other two model types.What is new in this version of OrcaFlex is the ability to prepare these variation models in the OrcaFlex GUI. The basic functionality of variation models was available in previous versions of OrcaFlex (through text data files using the BaseFile identifier). Variation models use change tracking to identify those data items that differ versus the parent model. A variation model is specified entirely in terms of the differences between itself and another OrcaFlex model, the parent model.A standard model is the type of model found in earlier versions of OrcaFlex.There are now three types of OrcaFlex model: standard models, variation models and restart analyses. We will, as always, attempt to fix any defects as quickly as possible. If you encounter any unexpected behaviour that you suspect to be a defect, please let us know. Whilst we have put in a correspondingly huge testing effort, we anticipate that some defects and issues remain. The restart analysis development represents a huge change to OrcaFlex, and affects almost every aspect of the software. Restart analyses and variation models Warning: OrcaFlex 11.1 UGM - OrcaFlex new features.
Recordings of the OrcaFlex 11.1 user group webinars can be viewed here: The list is extensive and to help navigate the topic you can use the links below.Ī more in depth discussion of the major new features introduced in 11.1 is available on our blog. You can combine a break view with one or more section views to create a rotated section (revolved section) view.This topic lists all the changes that have been made to OrcaFlex since version 7.0.Break views of flat pattern sheet metal parts include bend lines.All breaks use the same gap and break line style. You can use multiple break lines in a view using any combination of horizontal or vertical break lines.You can apply the Break View and Un-Break View commands to multiple views.You can display dimension lines with a zig-zag by selecting Show dimensions as broken in break views in Document Properties - Dimensions.You can specify the line font for the break lines in Tools > Options > Document Properties > Line Font.These dimensions are only for use in the drawing document and do not appear on a printed drawing. After breaking the view, dimension the break lines to a known portion of the geometry. Dimensions that cross the break lines are broken automatically.You can specify the gap between the break lines and the extension of the lines beyond the part geometry in Document Properties - Detailing.Break views include the following functionality:
