The second phase of the Interface Tool development is completed. With this extension Interfaces can be easily assigned to faces where loads and boundary conditions are applied to. Multiple boundary conditions can be selected simultaneously and interfaces with the same specifications can be created with one click.

Experimental Feature - Support Reduction
The Support Reduction function is added as an experimental feature in this release. With this function print-ready geometries with a perfect ratio between support reduction and part performance can be created. With this influence the user needs to decide if the trade off between lesser support structures and heavier designs is worth it. Therefore, we have implemented three different strategies which influence the design from a little bit to quite a bit.

Usability Enhancements
In this release the focus was on adding more value to the UI by working on usability enhancements. The following enhancements have been completed:
Default Tessellation Tolerance set to fine
Default Picking Filter set to faces
ODM Button to control the visibility of the Design Space Object
Scenario & Event renaming
LBCs in Studies Tab and Loads & Constraints are highlighted in the View Port when selected
Avoiding immediate update for single changes in LBC table
LBCs can be hidden when using the symmetry option
Design Space Tool: Keep current option to avoid unnecessary transfer of the geometry to a new solid and creation of a new study
GD Configuration Tool: “Remove Selection” was added as a context menu
...
Experimental Feature:
Support Reduction
•Scenarios are directly set in the analysis scene when reopening a project to provide an easy access to the simulation or the already calculated results
...
Custom Tools:
Automated Mesh to CAD
...
Backend
New surface meshing of the results to reduce the file size
Performance Enhancement
