Improved Material Modeling for Fluid Cavities

You can now define material behaviors that describe a pneumatic fluid or a user-defined fluid for use in a fluid cavity simulation. In addition, three new dedicated material options are now available for defining hydraulic fluid behavior.

All materials related to fluid cavity analysis now reside in a new Fluid Cavity node of the material editor tree under the Abaqus Multiphysics category.

In earlier releases, where hydraulic fluid behavior was supported for fluid cavities, you could define a fluid's density, bulk modulus, and expansion behavior using material options that are also used for other types of simulations. The three new dedicated material options for hydraulic fluids make it easier to define and maintain materials dedicated to fluid cavity analysis.

Benefits: Improved coverage for fluid material behaviors lets you simulate a wider variety of fluid cavity behaviors in structural simulations.

Material Properties for Electromagnetic Simulations

You can now define material behaviors that describe the electric and magnetic behavior on surfaces and through the volume of a part or product.

All materials related to electromagnetics now reside in a new top-level Electromagnetics node of the material editor tree.

Benefits: When materials with electromagnetic behaviors are available on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, you can perform simulations in CST Studio Suite using material definitions in the database.
