Discovery 2021 R1 Capabilities chart – Explore Mode and Refine Mode

Structures

1 – Linear solutions only

2 – Approximated by a uniform distribution (uses total force) rather than the parabolic distribution used in the Refine stage

3 – Sliding contact idealized as bonded in the Explore stage

4 – Hinged and spherical joints are approximated to be fixed in the Explore stage

Fluids

1 – Constant condition inputs

2 – Idealized as an insulated no-slip wall

Thermal

1 – Constant condition inputs

2 – Linear solutions only
