SOLIDWORKS SimulationPerformance is not improved when no-penetration contact or virtual wall contact arepresent in any load case.The Intel Direct Sparse solver performs the global stiffness matrix factorization (whichconsumes the majority of the total solution time) only once, because the stiffness matrixremains the same for each load case.The optimized reconfiguration of the Intel Direct Sparse solver was introduced inSOLIDWORKS Simulation 2019, and it was realized for pressure, force, and torque loadtypes.Incompatible BondingThe algorithm of the surface-to-surface incompatible bonding is improved. The solvercalculates correctly the zero-stress state and zero frequencies for rigid body modes.The calculation of stresses at bonded interfaces with unmatched (incompatible) meshesis also improved.The default option for bonded component contact is now set to Incompatible mesh.You can change the mesh setting for the Component contact (including the GlobalContact option) to Compatible mesh or Incompatible mesh for a bonded contacttype from Simulation Options > Default Options > Contact.Stress Averaging at Mid-Side NodesThe improved stress averaging algorithm applies to linear dynamic studies.Before you run a linear dynamic study, in the Results Options PropertyManager, clickAverage stresses at mid-nodes (high-quality solid mesh only).For a high-quality solid element, the stresses at the mid-side nodes are calculated byaveraging the stress values at the adjacent corner nodes. This stress averaging methodimproves the calculation of stresses at mid-side notes for tetrahedral elements with highaspect ratios.Example:• Stresses at corner nodes (1, 2, 3, and 4) globallyaveraged over the shared elements.• Stresses at mid-side nodes (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10)averaged over the associated corner nodes. Forexample, stress (node 5) = (stress (node 1) + stress(node 2)) / 2Thermal Loads for BeamsYou can apply thermal loads on beam joints and beam bodies. After running thermalanalysis on a model with beams, you can import the temperatures into a Linear Static,186
