Release Notes for TrueGrid®
Version 3.1.2, May 1, 2015
1. The new command TRACT in the merge phase assigns traction to face sets.
TRACT FSET set_name load_curve_# amplitude xn yn zn
This is a load that will apply to models built for LS-DYNA, ANSYS, ABAQUS, and NASTRAN.
2. The abaqstep command, used to associate conditions to different analysis
steps in the simulation, has a new option to make an association of
traction to an analysis step. That option
is:
ABDSLOAD BLC load_curve_# TRACT ;
3. The LSDYNA material 72 has been replaced with 72REL3. Since LSDYNA has
dropped material 72, so has TrueGrid. If anyone is using an older version
of LSDYNA with material 72 (the obsolete material model), please let XYZ
Scientific Applications know so that we can continue supporting it.
This new version has the following parameters:

appears after the material models.
