The release of nCode 2023.1 brings improvements in functionality and performance for nCode DesignLife, nCode GlyphWorks, and nCode VibeSys software products encompassing 155 built-in processing and display glyphs and support for over 50 data formats. This latest version of nCode 2023.1 offers new enhancements that continue to deliver data-driven confidence through accurate analysis post-processing and CAE simulation.
Current customers on active software maintenance can gain access to nCode 2023.1 and full release documentation using the Support Portal.
The CAN Processing glyph can be used in conjunction with a CAN database (.dbc file) to decode raw CAN data into channels of data in engineering units, which can then be further processed downstream.
The user can select which channels to be decoded from a list of available channels in order to speed up the extraction. The decoding can be performed in a user-supplied time range, and a time offset can be applied, so the decoded data can be synchronised with additional data from other sources. nCode 2023.1 supports decoding raw CAN data contained in ASAM MDF4 files and HBK catman BIN files.
The TestCombination glyph can now apply time offsets to Time Series and Multi-column input tests. This enables the user to easily synchronize data coming from various sources. This is particularly useful when tests involve multiple data collection devices such as video cameras, CAN loggers, mobile DAQ systems, etc. and the engineer needs to process the entire data for a global understanding of the physical phenomena occurring.
File format enhancements:
Two options are provided in DesignLife to account for notch sensitivity: Critical Distance and Stress Gradient. A new method named ‘Line’ has been added to the Critical Distance method. A new property, CriticalDistanceMethod is added for this purpose. Another property named NumberOfPoints defines the number of points to use for the Line method stress calculation. This method is considered to give a more accurate measure of the sub-surface stress at the critical distance.
A new property named MultipleEventsSingleODB has been added to ‘PostProcessorExportODB’ Post Processor object and FEOutput Glyph, which when set to True will enable writing multiple duty cycle load provider events results to a single Dassault Abaqus ODB file format. This is more convenient for the customer and also can save significant disk space.
