Split element command can now work in multiple selection; a new option is available to automatically split all the selected elements at their intersections. Then, the management of minimum distance when elements do not exactly cross each other, and the option to join the ends of the split elements on the virtual intersection point are both added.
Detect small and sliver faces command has been improved in order to give the possibility to show a label for each detected sliver face. Moreover, the labels with the area value can be also created by clicking on the face (Tooltip info), and an option to create the labels when the command is confirmed in Detect mode is now available. More operations have been added to be aligned to the Delete/extract faces command, and an option to show a uniform colour to the analysed body during the preview is now available.
Combining different technologies already available in VISI, we have developed a new binder algorithm, which allows to unfold a complex bend preserving the shape of the bend. The new solution, binder by deformation, will be visible and can be selected only if you have set the MSC mesh as the default mesh to be used for calculation and you have the advanced modelling licence. Then, by combining these two functionalities, the system can now unfold a flange bend in multiple steps, while preserving the original bend shape. This new binder needs more time to calculate the flange unfolding, because the algorithm works by iterating the process to get the best possible solution, but it is justified by having a result never seen before.
