Fatlab 2.006 is now available (source only, the standalone version will not be updated for the time being). The source code has been moved to SourceForge and is now under SVN version control, thus the change in version numbering. The commit log is now public.
The new version includes support for 2D ANSYS elements; PLANE42, PLANE82, PLANE182 and PLANE183. Like all other elements, only the corner nodes are read, so the will be limited difference between the Q4 and Q8 elements in Fatlab.
Bugfixes:
- In some cases, the extraction of peaks/valleys from the stress signal were faulty. The extraction routine could not detect a peak consisting of two identical values, but it can now. The problem would occur e.g. for a sine load with an unfortunate number of sample points
- For very long lives Fatlab would report infinite utilization under some circumstances. This was due to the use of single precision format in some of the calculations, which maxes out at approximately 10^38. Now using double precision, this is no longer an issue.
- There were some problems using Matlab 2016a & b (graphics only) which have now been fixed, so Fatlab will run equally well in any Matlab version from 2015aSP1 and forward.
