10.4 Improved domain decomposition for structural-acoustic and acoustic-acoustic tie constraints

Product: Abaqus/Explicit  

Benefits: A domain boundary is now allowed to intersect structural-acoustic and acoustic-acoustic tie constraints. This enhancement should provide for better domain decomposition in analyses that include structural-acoustic or acoustic-acoustic tie constraints.

Description: A restriction on structural-acoustic and acoustic-acoustic tie constraints that required them to be contained in a single domain has been removed. The domain boundary is allowed to intersect the structural-acoustic or acoustic-acoustic tie region such that a tie constraint could be part of more than one domain.
