2. There are major enhancements in Non-Linear Static Analysis Capabilities with improvements in 3D Contact Element with Friction and introduction of Concrete element.
3. New Direct Frequency analysis has been added.
4. Assembly/ Multi body meshing has been added in DISPLAY Automesh.
5. The MACRO functionality in DISPLAY has been enhanced to better support Parametric Modeling.
6. Multi load animation capability has been added in DISPLAY.
7. Finite Element Translators NISA to ANSYS and NISA to NASTRAN have been revamped.
8. The Linux operating systems supported are Fedora Core - 8 , 9, Ubuntu - 8.01, OpenSUSE - 10.0 (both 32 and 64 bit)
