AnalySwift Unveils VABS 4.1

AnalySwift apprised of the release of its VABS 4.1, the latest iteration of its popular modeling tool for composite slender structures, particularly aerospace rotor blades (helicopter, air mobility, eVTOL, UAV, propeller), wind turbine rotor blades, wings, and other slender components (poles, beams, rods, tubes, columns, shafts). VABS has been proven to provide the best beam model for slender structures made of advanced materials such as composites featuring general anisotropy and heterogeneity. Based on user feedback, the AnalySwift team has added the following new capabilities: • Perform dehomogenization for multiple load cases in terms of forces and moments corresponding to the Euler-Bernoulli model and the Timoshenko model. • Output the modes and corresponding ratios for failure criteria with identifiable modes such as failure criteria 1, 2, and 5. • Provide documentation for the user-defined failure criterion capability. • Enable users to suppress the output of other stress/strain files except for the average stresses/strains for each element in the ELE file. • Remove damping input for no-damping analysis. • Output the classical stiffness matrix and compliance matrix at the shear center. • Enable comment lines in the inputs for better readability. • Output the time and date the code is compiled and released. • Provide simple instructions when VABS, VABS -h, or VABS -help is issued in the command line. • Simplify the installation process without administrator privilege.
