Ansys version requires 2025R2 or later. * FEA with Ansys solver, nitriding model for nitrogen profile mapping to Thermal/Stress model is updated for robustness and tolerate using lower quality meshing. * FEA with Ansys solver, the carbon profile mapping was improved. * FEA analysis, the algorithm for carbon partitioning step size and increment size control was improved. * New help documentation was developed with local help system. * Pre-processing using Abaqus Plugin, the stress model uses \*odb file from thermal model temperature profiles instead of \*fil file. * Mat Sim tool, the Ubainite and LBainite label bug was corrected. * Bug removed, when running models at drive home directory when folder string less than 4 letters. * Primary creep model was improved. Allows simultaneous primary and secondary creep. * An improved TRIP model was implemented as option. * For steel alloys, the thermal properties (specific heat and conductivity) dependency on carbon and nitrogen is implemented. ### DANTE ACT Updates * Added DANTE Nickel materials feature for thermal and stress models * DANTE materials now appear in alphabetical order * Help button launches local documentation * Added creep strain reset DANTE keyword * Minor updates to displayed units * Fixed issue with loading in aluminum material * Fixed bug when writing out carbon profile for decarburization models ### DANTE Plugin Updates * Added DANTE Nickel materials feature for thermal, stress, and coupled thermal stress models * Help button launches local documentation * Added creep strain reset DANTE keyword * Added units to quantities * Removed \*NODEFILE, using ODB instead of FIL to map in thermal history * Iron carbide weight fraction and iron carbide size can only be specified as constant values in the plugin * Cyclic symmetrical interaction is kept in the stress model when converting from thermal to stress * fixed crashing issue when setting alloy precipitate volume fraction predefined field * fixed bug when writing out carbon weight fraction in carbide form and carbide size factor * fixed bug when loading in immersion quench file --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
