The new version has many new features and abilities, including better management of sketch constraints, changes to the interface, new surace and solid modeling tools, improvements to Dynamic Simulation, integration between Dynamic Simulation and Stress Analysis, Stress Analysis for more than one part at once, better feedback on conflicting constraints, derived assemblies, ribbon cables, and ROLLER CHAIN GENERATOR!
Nice stuff. The roller chain generator includes power curves which should help us spec the right sizes for our drives and arms. I wonder if Studio will animate them… If not, I don’t think this will be the last thread EVER.
Interesting that they changed to year from version number, and still no Vista in the OS list.
All i have to say is wow, for once i will not have to model a chain piece and constrain them together. thank god, the only bad thing about this will be if the chain isnt optimized and it lags when you work. but the solution for that will be that you dont put it on till the end. its still an amazing feature
Yeah, but at least it generates good sprockets automatically. While this may not be the best feature for the awards submisions, it is very good for developing a design.
