Release Notes

Analysis

10.0.0_PER_multithreading

The speed of the analysis engine has been increased by parallelizing certain internal operations (multithreading).
  • • Multithreading can be enabled or disabled for each analysis series individually as part of the analysis series definition
  • • Enabling multithreading allows the analysis to access all physical cores on monolithic (homogeneous) CPUs and all performance cores on hybrid (heterogeneous) CPUs. The parallel scheduler will evenly distribute the available cores among all concurrently running analysis series.
  • • Multithreading is primarily intended for use with medium to large sized models with well-conditioned stiffness.

Application Programming Interface (API)

10.0.0_PER_api

An API has been added to Perform3D, including features such as:
  • • Add/Delete Nodes and set their mass, restraints, and constraints
  • • Add/Delete Element groups, Add/Delete Elements and modify element properties
  • • Read existing component properties and add new component properties including All Elastic Components, Cross Sections, and Compound Components and most Materials and Inelastic Components
  • • Read analysis results for nodes, elements, and components

Reporting

10.0.0_PER_live_reporting

A Live Reporting feature has been added which can be used to generate one or more report documents that compiles tabulated response outputs along with images.
  • • Response data from the Database Tables
  • • Users can capture images from plots or displays in the model to be included in the report. This supports most plots or displays in the program, including mode shapes, deflected shapes, and more
  • • The contents of the report will auto-refresh when the analysis is rerun
  • • The report can be viewed directly in the program, printed, or saved as a PDF or Microsoft Word file

Database Tables

10.0.0_PER_interactive_database_editing

The Database Tables in Perform3D have been extended to include Nodes, Elements, and Component properties.
Interactive Database Editing has been added, allowing a user to use the database tables to interactively edit a model where analysis has not yet been run. Interactive Database Editing is available for the following:
• Node data including adding, removing, and moving nodes as well as setting their supports
• Element data including adding and removing elements and property and orientation assignment

• Component Property data including adding, removing, or modifying component properties for all Materials, Elastic Components, Cross Sections, Strength Sections and Compound Components and most Inelastic Components

Cloud Sign-in Licensing
