Upgraded Functions
Solid Contact
The contact force calculation algorithm has been improved by
evaluating more accurate contact plane and contact point.
N-R type of a static analysis
The Auto Convergence Factor option has been added in the N-R type
of a static analysis. So, it does not need to consider Convergence
Factor when performing the static analysis.
Export Data in Plot
The head style of the exported txt data from Plot was different from
the data style. A space has been added to the data, so the header and
the data come into pieces when importing the txt data file to Excel.
Shortcuts about Working Plane Change
Shortcuts have been created for all components in Working Plane
Change. And, Shortcuts have been added for "Change to YX", "Change
to ZY", "Change to XZ" in Working Plane Change (Axis).

Fixed Problems
V8R2 because the default error tolerance for static is lower than the
error tolerance of the dynamic analysis.
(18427) In V8R1, the friction force was opposite when inputting the
spline friction force in the case of the Circle to Curve Contact and the
Curve to Curve Contact.
(17813) The analysis was failed if an analysis was performed when the
PTCV was defined by the Request after using a PTCV by the Motion
function in Expression. Also, the Expression was incorrectly displayed in
a scope.
(18337, 18424) Zero was always outputted because the value of
friction coefficient was not calculated when using the USUB as contact
force.
The result was not correct if the component was S1 when using the
SheetShell as the entity of the Stress function in Expression.
(18340) In case of PTCV, the orientation of base marker using floating
marker was always fixed as the inertia marker to V8R1. But, the x axis
is the axis direction of the curve and the y axis is the normal direction
of the curve in V8R2.
(18114) The geometry file in the Parasolid format (x_t, x_b) has not
been exported if the file name's character number is more than 60
except the extension. The enabled number of character is up to 256.
(18185) When the rss file had a multi-byte character, the batch process
was not executed from the file. In V8R2, the batch process is executed
if the user performs an analysis after re-creating the rss file. Also, the
batch process is executed if the encoding should set to UTF-8 when
using the rss file created in the previous version.
(14832) A distortion occurred because of the difference between the
screen ratio and the aspect ratio of the resolution in the animation
movie created by Plot. The view part of GUI has been modified to cut
by the aspect ratio for the long part of the screen and the view part of
Plot has been adjusted to create some distortion.
(18623) The output value was correctly outputted in the rpi file if the
dynamic analysis was only performed using the scenario analysis. But,
the output value was not outputted if the static analysis or another
analysis with the dynamic analysis was performed using the scenario
analysis.
(14778) The name of joint in the subsystem was Dummy Joint when
checking the state variable the after calculating the state matrix by the
model with a subsystem. But, the correct name of the joint is displayed
in V8R2.
(18082) RecurDyn was crashed when performing an analysis using the
USUB of Differential Equation and Variable Equation if the number of

Fixed Problems
(17907) (18462) The sensing value is not measured in spite of the belt
in the sensor range.
(17447) The behavior of the shellbelt was changed by the unit system
if the dynamic analysis was performed because the value of Drilling
Stiffness Factor in the shell element was always fixed. But, the level is
specified as L^2 in the dialog and the default value is 1 in the unit
system of mm in V8R2. So, the value is changed by the unit system.
RecurDyn/Bearing
Fixed Problems
(16518) The bearing was fixed in the place and the beam force was
only moved when performing the Object Control function for the base
body of a bearing.

RecurDyn/eTemplate
RecurDyn/eTemplate is an automation tool that allows RecurDyn to be
controlled by specially-formatted Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. This allows
Excel spreadsheets to be used to store the data to completely define models.
All data required to define a model can be placed in the Excel spreadsheet.
Using the power in Excel to manipulate data, eTemplate enables users to
create very sophisticated and powerful tools to customize RecurDyn to
improve their workflow and their data management.
RecurDyn/FFlex
New Functions
Plastic Material
The plastic materials are a J2 plasticity model (also known as a Von
Mises plasticity model) which is strain-rate independent. The plastic
materials can be used with Solid8 and Shell4 elements in FFlex bodies.
The plastic materials make to consider the permanent deformation
caused by the load over the yield stress. In addition, two kinds of work
hardening are modeled in RecurDyns plastic materials such as the
isotropic hardening and the kinematic hardening.
FFlex Regenerator
The user can see the contour display of shell top/bottom without
repeating the simulation.
Contour Display with respect to user-defined marker has been
improved.
Display Output File Generating Time
The duration time of the generating FFlex output file (erd, srd) is
displayed in Output Window.
Render Feature Line Only
The Render Feature Line Only function has been added in the Display
option in FFlex edit mode. This function removes all mesh lines, but
displays the Feature line, Node set, Patch set, Element set, B.C, and
Output.

Upgraded Functions
Stress Recovery
The stress recovery routine has been upgraded. So, the result may be
changed. Additionally, the multi thread computing has been applied to
improve the speed for the large size.
Outputting Stress/Strain of Shell element
In the case of shell element, the result of top and bottom about
Strain/Stress outputs both in a plot result. Until V8R1, the result of top
or bottom about Strain/Stress outputs depending on the Flexibility
Setting.
Selecting and deleting FDR element
The function has been improved to select and to delete the FDRs
generated in FFlex or the FDRs of imported FFlex body. Until V8R1, the
inconvenience method was used to operate the FDRs. But, it is easy to
select and delete the FDRs by the mouse operation in Database
window.
Automatic Outputs for Markers
When applying Joints and Forces to a flexible body, the Output nodes
in the FFlex edit mode should be defined to check the results of
neighboring node about the markers of Joints and Forces. The
inconvenience method was used to define the output nodes once more
after the simulation if the user didn't set these outputs. In V8R2, the
adjacent output nodes of makers in entities such as Joints and forces
are automatically defined using Automatic Outputs for Markers option
in Flexibility Setting.
Creating Output nodes
Until V8R1, it was possible to select only node type when defining the
outputs. However, if the output was defined to the FE sets such as
patch set, node set, element set and the boundary condition, it would
be inconvenient to define each node output. So, the definition method
of Outputs for the FE sets to support by directly selecting the FE sets
has been improved.
Selecting components of Stress/Strain for creating output file
Until V8R1, all components of Stress/Strain were created at the erd
and srd file. So, the size of files was big. In V8R2, only some
components user wanted are created at the erd and srd file.
Import dialog
The user can import FFlex data at the reference frame of geometry.
Creating Patch Set
It is possible to create patch set by selecting a node set. The patch set
is defined patches of the selected node set.
Creating Node Set
It is possible to create node set by selecting a patch set or an element
set. The node set is defined all nodes of the selected set.
The time of the Stress Recovery
The time of the stress recovery and the strain recovery was decided by
the every step and the end of simulation in V8R1. But, the time of the
recovery is always decided by the end of simulation in V8R2.

Co-simulation "fmu" can be imported and simulated.
RecurDyn/Mesher
New Functions
Local Remesh
The Local Remesh function allows to remesh the results from
RecurDyn/Mesher by changing the element size parameter of the
specific faces by the user. Especially, when checking the stress/strain
results in the coarse mesh region, it is necessary to change the coarse
mesh to the fine mesh if the user wants to get more accurate the
stress/strain results.
Advnaced Mesh
Advanced Mesh is another auto mesher to make the mesh of CAD
Geometry automatically like Mesh. The existing Mesh has the re-mesh
concept so that it can use the graphic tessellation date which is the
first mesh results from a CAD geometry. So, this mesh uses the CAD
geometry indirectly and there is low failure to generate the mesh data.
On the contrary, it is possible to generate mesh date with a relatively
small number of nodes and the higher quality mesh results because
the Advanced Mesh uses the CAD geometry directly. In addition, it is
possible to implement the similar mesh results from the traditional
Mapped Mesher that is usually supported in the FE software although
this mesh cant perform the general mapped mesh concept.
Upgraded Functions
Assist Modeling
Until V8R1, it was possible to select just one surface data when
applying Assist Modeling in order to make the FDR element
automatically. Now it is possible to select multi-surfaces by the new
button.

Flexible fixed and movable rollers are developed. The flexible rollers
are modeled with the Shell4 and RBE.
Tension Sensor
The tension sensor has been added in MTT2D. (Output is Tension)

Fixed Problems
(18558) In the case of a pairs of rigid rollers and sheet contact, when
the option for reducing contact noise between sheet and another
entities was set, the speed of the simulation was slow.
(18361) The color was changed to the grey color when opening the
model created in V7. But, the existing color has been kept in V8R2
when opening the model created in V7.
(16856) The position of Linear Guide was not changed as following the
orientation of mother body.
(18186) The wrong information was included in MTT2D model when
importing after exporting the rdp file for a MTT2D model used to PVs
such as Density, Young's Modulus, Damping Ratio and Sheet Curl
Radius in the assembly mode.

Distance Sensor
(15445) The sheet can be used to measure the distance of the outer
line when moving the depth direction of sheet.
Selecting the entity for sensing
(15449) The sensor of MTT3D is possible to select the entity. So, it is
possible to sense about only the selected entity.
Principal stress and intensity stress in Plot
The output results of the principal strain/stress and intensity
strain/stress for Sheet Shell have been included in a plot result.
Air Resistance force in Plot
The output results of air resistance force at each node for MTT3D have
been included in a plot result.
Fixed Problems
(18283) The value of the boundary position was not correctly used
when the ShellSheet is curved.
(18347) The Align Sheet function did not work correctly.
(17447) The behavior of the ShellSheet was changed by the unit
system if the dynamic analysis was performed because the value of
Drilling Stiffness Factor in the shell element was always fixed. But, the
level is specified as L^2 in the dialog and the default value is 1 in the
unit system of mm in V8R2. So, the value is changed by the unit
system.

RecurDyn/Particles
RecurDyn/Particles allows a MBD system with a lot of parties with micrometer
size to analysis in the RecurDyn platform. In order to simulate the particle
systems, a discrete element method (DEM) should be applied. In addition,
GPU can boost the calculation speed of parallel programming, and GPU makes
DEM for applying to the granular and discontinuous materials easily, especially
in granular flows, powder mechanics, and rock mechanics.
And then, RecurDyn/Particles supports to make lots of particles easily by the
click button. Besides, it is possible to perform all procedures such as preprocessing, simulation and post-processing in the RecurDyn platform.

The fluid analysis noted as the limit of simulation and the particles with
viscosity are provided by an analysis for a number of spheres.
When the particles apply a force to a body, the reaction force and torque are
generated and a dynamic system formed from them can move the body. The
moving-particle semi-implicit (MPS) method is a computational method for the
simulation of incompressible free surface flows. It is a macroscopic,
deterministic particle method (Lagrangian meshfree method) developed by
Koshizuka and Oka (1996). The MPS method is similar to the SPH (SmoothedParticle Hydrodynamics) method (Gingold and Monaghan, 1977; Lucy, 1977)
in both methods which provide approximations to the strong form of the
partial differential equations (PDEs) on the basis of integral interpolate.
However, the MPS method is applied to the simplified differential operator
models solely based on a local weighted averaging process without taking the
gradient of the kernel function. In addition, the solution process of MPS
method obtained by a semi-implicit prediction-correction process differs to
that of the original SPH method.

(18335) The Friction force of Track Road contact has been improved in
order to consider the static friction correctly.
(18422) The speed of the model is lower by the track to surface
contact than the contact between the link and the ground in a track
model with the same condition. Because the logic for updating the
patch information in V8R2 has optimized, the speed of the model is
faster than the previous version. But, the speed can be lower than the
contact between the link and the ground because the track to surface
contact is needed to update the location information of road at every
step.

V8R1, the contact point was defined in the track-link pin's center. In
particular, when the friction force is calculated, the relative velocity in
the contact position can have a large error. So, the contact point is
correctly defined in V8R2. The contact point will be on the sprocket
surface and this will generate the correct friction force.
(18259) In case of the partial search contact between the sprocket and
link, RecurDyn was crashed when performing an analysis for the model
that the contact did not occurred at the start time.
