FEBio 4.3
New Features:
- The "CG-solver" now supports preconditioners (#67)
- Added fluid supply function to biphasic-FSI materials.
- Added Starling fluid supply constitutive model for biphasic-FSI fluid supplies.
- Implemented nrrd image reader.
- Added support for storing global data in plot file. By default, PID controller values are now stored to the plot file.
- Added "mesh_data" plot variable, which allows storing mesh data in the plot file.
Improvements:
- Added support for reading part lists from feb4 file.
- Improved error detection in fluid dilatation calculation of the "real vapor" material.
- Added check for node ID numbers in linear constraints.
- Updated default analysis type for biphasic analyses to be TRANSIENT.
- The "m" parameters of Ogden materials now support maps.
- Added support for reading vector of strings as xml tag.
- Modified default settings for biphasic-solute and multiphasic analyses to be TRANSIENT (instead of STEADY-STATE).
- Added units for coefficients c1 and c2 of Mooney-Rivlin materials that were missing them.
- Added units to velocity in fluid normal velocity.
- Added documentation on CG-solid solver.
- Added error message when a fixed constraints has no dofs fixed.
- Now, storing initial line coordinates of line object.
- Updated some plot variables that were not thread-safe.
- Added support for domain data stored as FMT_NODE.
- The Surface-to-surface map is now evaluated at the nodes so that it can be replicated more accurately in a plot variable.
- Updated error message when the fiber property of a material cannot be found when parsing ElementData section.
- Added support for .fiber variable in ElementData. (which allows the "old" way of assigning user fiber data to mixture components.)
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed bug in assembling stiffness of linear constraints.
- Fixed bug with assigning maps to array parameters.
- Fixed issue with model reset.
- Fixed issue with attributes getting processed twice.
- Fixed issue with default name for line objects.
- Fixed issue with initialization of rigid body COM so the correct values are available for PID controllers that reference these parameters.
- Fixed bug in "fluid surface force" plot variable to update surface area and surface normal at each time point, producing correct results for fluid-FSI problems. Fluid problems not affected.
