FEBio 4.4
New Features:
- FEBio can now output directly in the VTK file format. (Use to output febio results to a VTK file instead of the standard FEBio plot file.)
- Added Yeoh constitutive model for uncoupled solid materials
- Implemented dynamics for linear truss elements.
- Added reaction rate for solutes modeled as SBMs for consistency with constant reaction rate for SBMs.
- Added log variables "EulerX", "EulerY", and "EulerZ" for exporting rigid body Euler angles to the log file.
Improvements:
- Expanded description of building plugin on windows in developer's manual.
- Added check for valid rigid body ID in rigid initial conditions.
- Modified FEPrescribedActiveContractionFiber so that it works better with FEBio Studio.
- Added check for nodal IDs
- Updated theory for tied-fluid interface
- Made output of "damage" plot variable consistent with output of "D" log variable.
- Nodal IDs are now stored on the mesh when reading feb files and written to the plot file.
- Improved calculation of multiphasic tangent stiffness by accounting for tangents of referential solid volume fraction with respect to strain.
- Updated documentation to include description of Yeoh material
- Added units to material parameters of Holzapfel-Gasser-Ogden materials
- Added support for creating node sets from part lists when reading the febio input file.
- Added check to ensure that the parent material of "perm-Holmes-Mow" is biphasic or multiphasic.
- Added initialization of the "E" parameter of the linear spring material.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed issue with restarts that use surface, domain, or model log data.
- Fixed restart issue for prescribed normal displacement.
- Fixed some serialization issuess with solutes and tied multiphasic interface.
- Fixed bug with calculation of stv parameter in FEActiveFiberStress and FEActiveFiberStressUC
- Fixed issue with "cylindrical" fiber generator.
- Fixed bug with selection of solute id for Nims reaction rate.
- Fixed bug where exact_eigen now returns correct eigenvalues for a diagonal matrix
- Fixed typo in user's manual for coupled MR.
- Added dllexport to some fecore debug functions.
- Fixed issue with old solid solver for dynamic problems.
- Fixed bug with initialization of elastic fiber materials.
- Fixed issue with output of contact gap log variable for node-on-facet contact interface.
- Fixed couple bugs in "tied-multiphasic" contact interface.
- Fixed issue with log output of contact pressure (issue #71).
- Fixed issue with serialization of item lists and domain maps.
- Fixed issue with serialization of mesh nodes.
