For information about using the toolpath-mesh intersection module, see QA00000056273 in the Dassault Systèmes Knowledge Base Abaqus/Standard now offers a suite of analysis capabilities aimed at providing scalable and predictive simulation of 3D printing processes.The rendering of beams with a distributed beam radius is now available.A new complex envelope computation method allows for meaningful visualization of Mises stress and other stress tensor invariants for complex results.Tensor field output written to the output database as an averaged nodal field can now be visualized.You can use Abaqus to compute design responses and their sensitivities to improve the performance of sensitivity-based shape, sizing, and bead optimizations.New CAD formats are supported for surface mesh extraction.You can specify a geometric restriction for overhang control for sensitivity-based topology optimization.Additional methods to define the translation vector and axis of rotation improve the usability of instance manipulations.Support for sensitivity-based shape optimization is now available.You can use the new fluid inflator interaction and interaction property to model the flow characteristics of inflators used for airbag systems.Support for CAXA/SAXA element type assignment allows you to assign element types from the axisymmetric elements with nonlinear, asymmetric deformation family of elements.You can now generate flat input files for models that contain model instances, which enables use of substructures with model instances.

Dassault Systemes released the SIMULIA 2019 products ( Abaqus, Isight, Tosca, fe-safe, Simpack and XFlow), in the coming days, posts will be released of the key features of the other SIMULIA products. This post provides an overview of the new key features of Abaqus 2 019 and the procedure to download/install the new Abaqus 2019.
