Autodesk TruPlan 2019

Autodesk is pleased to announce the availability of TruPlan 2019. This software helps you design the best process to manufacture a composite part using advanced optimization techniques.

What's new in Autodesk TruPlan 2019 (Build 3.0.138):

- File Import:
Support for reading manufacturing boundary (Ext) from FiberSim XML.
Support for comma separators for CATIA Composites XML.
- Tessellation:
Support for editing a tessellated surface.
Mesh conversion is no longer necessary with tessellation editing and has been removed from the user interface.
- Apply: Click Apply to view results before closing a dialog box. Supported for:
Projections
Document Settings
- Flat pattern editing:
Right-click a flat pattern and select Edit Flat Pattern to make changes to it in the Inventor Sketch environment.
Right-click a ply and select Add Flat Pattern to manually create a flat pattern that is not associated with a strategy.
- Sub-ply:
Add a strategy to a sub-ply.
Duplicate, copy, and paste sub-plies.
Include sub-plies in laser projection data and nesting data.
- Projection: Support for batch projections.
- Strategy Table: Support for selecting or changing seed points and curves.
- Laser Projection Data: A warning will be shown if a preview might take a long time.
- Plane: You can now use triads (axis controls) to create a plane.

Summary of Known Issues

- Context menu to batch add strategies on a subdivision node is not supported.
- When you edit a flat pattern in the Inventor Sketch environment, and your edited pattern is invalid (open, or containing self-intersections), it will not be accepted back into the TruPlan environment when you exit the Sketch environment. This is as designed, except you will not receive a warning message before being returned to the TruPlan environment, and your flat pattern edit will appear to be lost. A workaround for this is to click Undo, which will restore the edited flat pattern, possibly containing invalid contours, to the Model browser. You can once more use the Sketch environment to correct the flat pattern. Once you have successfully done this and exited the Sketch environment, your edited flat pattern will be present in your TruPlan project, and the sketch will be removed from the model browser, as expected.
- Adding a strategy or an analysis may fail or cause a crash when working on a sub-ply.
- Laser Projection Data preview: There might be bad results at corners when both point refinement options are checked.
- Rosette values may change unexpectedly when switching focus between axes in some cases. Workaround: Use the mouse to change focus instead of the keyboard.

About Autodesk TruPlan 2019. TruPlan is based on multiple advance optimization algorithms and assesses the cost-impact of unique design features and surface definitions across multiple manufacturing processes, such as: Automated Fiber Placement (AFP), Automated Tape Laying (ATL), Hand Layup (HLU) or any combination of these strategies. TruPlan lets composite manufacturers anticipate the costs of fabricating a certain part and also optimize their entire process to avoid re-engineering and downtime on the shop floor. The data collected by TruPlan enables engineers to perform comparative cost-benefit analyses to determine optimum materials, processes, and equipment. It provides everyone - from design engineering to management - the statistical data necessary to evaluate the impact of various design concepts against various manufacturing processes.
