Product: Abaqus/Explicit
Benefits: The default element stable time estimation provides a larger element stable time increment. For analyses using variable mass scaling, less total mass will need to be added to achieve a given stable time increment.
Description: By default, Abaqus/Explicit will now use the “improved” element time estimation method to calculate the element stable time increment for three-dimensional elements. This “improved” element time estimation method usually results in a larger element stable time increment.
